First of all, what's remarkable about this train is that it's GORGEOUS! Secondly, during their stops, they have free concerts from one of the brightly decorated train cars. Then, the best part is that CPKC donates to local food shelters. Although the concerts are free, you are encouraged to make a donation.

Since 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $22.5 million and over five million pounds of food for community food banks across North America. That's so cool! They are coming to Northern Maine for three stops on one day, November 21.

Sure, it might be a hike up into parts of Maine you may not see all the time, but that makes it even better. I would say it would be well worth the trip!

This is the 25th anniversary of the CPKC Holiday train, and only the second time it's stopped through Maine. We're pretty lucky to have this train share its dedication to helping food pantries! Find the schedule and the artists that will be entertaining us right here!
