The Holiday Train

Submitted by David on Fri, 2007-12-07 01:38

I was reading through Darren's account of a recent photo trip that I almost went on, and thought for a second that he'd caught the CPR holiday train, but it was a prior year's version:

CPR holiday train

Basically, as a promo the CPR decorates a train with christmas lights and holds a short performance with a few singers on board - it's rather weird (maybe an understatement), but perhaps you might find it interesting.

This year's Western Canadian edition is scheduled to be in Calgary on Tuesday December 11th, continuing westward from there. Performers on this train will be Wide Mouth Mason (who have opened for groups such as the Rolling Stones) and Melanie Doane.

For more information see CPR's Holiday Train page.

I've got this year's Holiday train on the calendar, hoping to catch it at Agassiz. Wide Mouth Mason was on the train last year as well, and they put on a darn good show. Look at it this way: a free mini-concert (Dave likes that free word). And, yes, the shots on the site are of the 05 and 06 Holiday trains.

I'm not crazy...oh, wait, nevermind.
