Greetings,
I figured since I saw my first snowflakes of the season tonight in Milwaukee, WI. I would post this information about the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. This train has been through Milwaukee the last couple of years. It is a great sight to see rolling down the tracks all light up. There is also a car with entertainment. Some of the entertainers listed I saw perform on the “Breakfast for Learning” Steam train this summer in Canada and they were very good.
Hopefully the train will pass through your town and there will be snow on the ground. Also don’t forget a donation for the food pantry.

CALGARY, Nov. 6 /CNW/ - Back for the fifth year in North America,
Canadian Pacific Railway’s two lighted Holiday Trains and their live musical
shows performed nightly from our boxcar stages are preparing to make another
run this season for hunger relief.
In the past four years, CPR’s Holiday Trains have raised more than
$1.3 million (Cdn) and more than 160 tons of food for food pantries and food
banks along the Holiday Train routes across Canada and in the U.S. Northeast
and Midwest.
The Canadian Holiday Train follows CPR’s mainline between Montreal and
Vancouver, beginning Dec. 6 in St. Therese, Quebec, and ending Dec. 20 in Port
Moody, B.C. Major stops include: Belleville, Sudbury and Thunder Bay, Ont.;
Winnipeg and Brandon, Man.; Regina and Swift Current, Sask.; Medicine Hat,
Calgary and Banff, Alta.; and Golden, Revelstoke and Kamloops, B.C.
The U.S. train begins Dec. 3 at Scranton, Penn., and stops in Binghamton,
Oneonta, Saratoga Springs, Fort Edward, Whitehall, Ticonderoga, Plattsburgh
and Rouses Point, N.Y. In southern Ontario, this Holiday Train will stop in
Mississauga, Chatham and Windsor.
