Holiday Train
The CPKC Holiday Train is back for its 28th year! As the brightly decorated train travels across our network, communities gather to enjoy live music and support local food banks. Every donation stays in the community where it is given, helping local organizations provide meals and support during the holiday season and beyond.
The East Side Neighborhood Services Food Program will be receiving a donation during the Holiday Train stop. This event is free to the public, with light refreshments provided. Dress warm and stay tuned for safety updates and parking information.
