Here is how it breaks down:
Hermon-Coldbrook road railway crossing between Autocar Lane & Dave’s Way, from 4:15pm-4:45pm
Greenville Junction- Greenville Junction Depot-25 Rockwood Road, from 9:00pm-9:30pm
Jackman-4 Walton Street, from 7:45pm-8:15pm
The 2026 CPKC Holiday Train will tour Canada and the U.S. November 21nd through December 20th, raising money, food and awareness, to support food banks across their network.
You can enjoy free live music from the brightly decorated train’s stage. During the Maine stops, you can check out performances from American Authors and Rafaelle Roy
CPKC donates to the local food bank at each stop and encourages all attendees to make a monetary or heart-healthy food donation.
Since its inaugural journey in 1999, 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 U.S.
The CP Holiday Train has two trains, one that travels exclusively in Canada and another with stops in both Canada and the U.S. And next month, it will make a visit to Maine.
In 2022, the CP Holiday Train made its maiden voyage to the state of Maine, with a bunch of colorfully lit boxcars, holiday cheer, and a rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, performing a live concert for the crowds.
The events are free to the public, so grab the entire family, check out the train, and enjoy some live music!
