Holiday Train to return after two-year hiatus

PLATTSBURGH | The always popular Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will return to the rails this season on its first cross-continent tour in three years. Following virtual concerts in 2020 and 2021, the train will now return in-person in 2022 to raise money, food and awareness for local food banks in communities along the CP network. According to the currently available schedule, the Holiday Train has three North Country stops planned for Monday, Nov. 28 in Port Henry, Plattsburgh and Rouses Point. The Port Henry stop is slated for 4:30 p.m., 7 p.m. in Plattsburgh and 8:45 p.m. in Rouses Point at the Pratt Street Railway Crossing. "I'm grateful to the CP team members who adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver two exceptional virtual Holiday Train shows and to all those who continued to donate while we kept community members safe," said Keith Creel, CP's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Holiday Train is all about families and communities coming together to celebrate the season and help those in need. We are excited to be back out on the rails and in our communities, taking these two beautiful trains across our network and sharing the joy that comes with gathering in the spirit of giving." The 2022 tour will launch on Nov. 23 featuring 168 live shows. The full schedule is available at cpr.ca/holidaytrain. This year's performers will include Alan Doyle, Tenille Townes, Mackenzie Porter and Lindsay Ell, to name a few. Details about this year's artists and which performers will play which shows are available at cpr.ca/holidaytrain. Holiday Train shows are free to attend. CP asks attendees to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation if they're able. Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event, with all donations made staying with the local food bank to help people in need in the community. Because local food shelves buy food at a discount, cash donations can go further than food donations to help those in need, CP officials said Oct. 12.
