Since its inception in 1999, the CP Holiday Train has raised more than $21 million and 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across the U.S. and Canada. CP strongly encourages attendees to bring cash donations since local food banks have agreements to purchase food at a discount.

Holiday Train fans can follow the train via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @CanadianPacific. A live train tracker will be available at cpr.ca/holidaytrain.

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train tours Canada and the U.S. in November and December raising money, food and awareness for the important work that food banks do in their communities.
