CPKC Holiday Train raises C$1.75M to support food banks

Canadian Pacific Kansas City’s 2024 Holiday Train program raised over C$1.75 million and collected more than 130,000 pounds of food for local food banks during its four-week trek across the United States and Canada.

Since its inaugural trip in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than C$26.1 million and collected over 5.4 million pounds of food.

This year, the train made its first ever stop in Atlantic Canada during a visit to Saint John, New Brunswick. At stops in seven provinces and 13 states, the train hosted 166 live music shows. 

Additionally, the CPKC Holiday Express train raised over C$108,000 for local food banks while visiting 13 communities in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. 

Also, the Class I’s festively decorated Tren Navideño visited nine communities across Mexico.

"I am continually amazed with the excitement and enthusiasm the Holiday Train generates during its annual journey across North America as it celebrates the holiday season while supporting local communities and charities," said CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel. "Thank you to the thousands of individuals, young and old, who joined us this year to see the Holiday Train during its magical trip and gave so generously to support local organizations helping those in need."
