The 2025 Holiday Train travelled more of the CPKC network than ever before. In order to bring the magic, lights and live music of the Holiday Train to more of our network, after 23 years of stopping in communities during the holiday season, the Holiday Express equipment has been retired.
To recognize the legacy of the Holiday Express, Rudy was featured in lights with a beautifully designed mural that is part of the U.S. Holiday Train’s lighting design.
We are grateful to all the volunteers and communities who have supported the Holiday Express over the years. CPKC will continue to support these communities through the Holiday Train program and we really look forward to sharing the music, magic and community spirit of the Holiday Train to an even broader audience.
While some things are changing with the Holiday Train program this year, the spirit, impact and joy that the program brings remain the same.
