The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train raised CA$1.3 million and collected 121,000 pounds of food for local food banks.

Since the program's inaugural start in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than CA$22.4 million and collected 5.15 million pounds of food, CP officials said in a press release. The train returned to the rails this year after going on hiatus in 2020 and 2021 because of the pandemic.

"We are overjoyed with the support we received from people across the CP network who came together to celebrate the season while braving the elements in support of their community and those in need," said CP President and CEO Keith Creel.

Thousands of people came to see the train as it rolled through 168 communities in Canada and the United States, CP officials said.
