Canadian Pacific Kansas City's 2023 Holiday Train program raised a record $1.8 million and collected more than 160,000 pounds of food for local food banks and food programs in the United States and Canada over the past four weeks.
Completing its 25th year, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected approximately 5.3 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the United States since its inaugural journey in 1999, CPKC officials said in a press release.
"We wish to thank the hundreds of thousands who gathered to see the Holiday Train over the past four weeks and express our gratitude to all those who gave so generously to support local food banks," said CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel.
Additionally, the CPKC Holiday Express train this year visited 20 communities in Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi raising $200,000 for the Salvation Army.
This year’s Holiday Train concert tour stopped in 191 communities in six Canadian provinces and 14 U.S. states and for the first time traveled to communities south of Kansas City, Missouri, in Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.
CPKC also operated the Tren Navideno, a decorated train adorned with lights and festive scenes, bringing the holiday spirit to nine communities across Mexico as part of a holiday tradition running since 2010.
