Annual Holiday Train Rolling Through Central and Upstate New York For the Holidays

The annual Holiday Train is rolling through Central and Upstate New York, spreading cheer and helping feed the hungry this Christmas.

Two trains make the journey in both Canada and the U.S, stopping in 164 communities, including Saratoga Springs and the Adirondacks this year, collecting food and donations for local food banks.

"The CP Holiday Train program is our way to help in the fight against hunger by growing awareness of this issue and providing a fun and engaging way for the public to show their support," said Keith Creel, CP's President and Chief Executive Officer.

The U.S.-bound train will depart from Montreal on November 25 and head south, making several stops in central and upstate New York. Alan Doyle and Beautiful Band will be aboard, performing at each stop.

Here's where you can see the holiday train and help local food banks at the same time.
