Arriving Track Two on the Frozen Prairie: the Holiday Train

Sunday. three couples including Molly and me drove northwest from Duluth to watch the Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train arrive in Plummer, Minnesota. The train arrived at the frozen prairie town after sunset, in the dark. Shortly thereafter the door of a special boxcar folds down and a Christmas concert ensues in support of the local food bank. Within an hour of arriving the train moves to the next small town. Thanks Canadian Pacific (CPKCR)!

This is the third time we have travelled and watched on of CPKCR’s Holiday Trains. While one train works its way across the northern United States, another train crosses Canada. We had fun a few years ago up in Schreiber and Nipigon, Ontario. Most of the small towns have corresponding events which support their local food banks.

From Plummer, Minnesota … the 2024 Holiday Train!
