Tonight the CPR Holiday Train will be making a stop in Winnipeg at around 21:30 Central time, near Munroe and Prevette. It is a charitable cause, and they collect food and cash donations for those who are less fortunate and opressed. I will be going there for sure, as i was last year. And entertainers on the Canadian Holiday Train include Canadian Blues rockers Wide Mouth Mason and Lisa Brokop, one of Canada's finest vocalists. Last year Wayne Rostad and Amanda Stott and the Moffats were playing. I look forward to it, especially cause they have heavyweight coaches Pulled by either an AC4400CW, a SD90MAC-H II, or an ES44AC, GEVO would be nice, but too bad they don't use the Tuscan and Grey FP9's.

All i can say is, it was a blast. No ES44AC, SD90MAC-H II or Tuscan and Grey FP9's. But like last year, an AC4400CW. Wide Mouth Mason and Lisa Brokop put on a magnificent show, and the protestant church across the street was handing out free hot chocolate, lol. I will throw some photos on once they are uploaded to my friend's site.
No one does Christmas like Canada and Canadian Pacific Railway.
