Viewing Album: CP Holiday train
By:

12/6/2009 - 12/6/2009
Album Info:
We first saw the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train in Sparta, Wisconsin. After leaving there, they took siding at Bangor East in the small village where we live that is commonly called Rockland. The next time that we saw them was at the other end of the siding in the big curve at Bangor West. We got there just in time to see Amtk7 "the Empire Builder" passing them on the main track, headed west at 79 mph! They were a little bit late and trying to make up as much time as possible! When the CP Holiday train left the siding behind them there was more than enough time to run to La Crosse. Thus they were NOT in a hurry to get there. We chased them along Interstate 90 thru West Salem and had time for a sandwich in the old La Crosse passenger station before they arrived. It was fun for me because I hired out on the Milwaukee Road in that station in the summer of 1968. That was when the dispatchers were upstairs on the second floor. I was 19 at the time going to the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. I worked afternoons and midnights in St Paul. I guess that the better pictures were taken at the Amtrak Passenger Station in La Crosse. It was a cold night with a wind coming off the river. Some of the pictures are better than others, but as you look through them please remember that we did the best that we could with a HAND HELD camera at night. With that thought in mind, you just might see some rather interesting effects! I'd seen lots of pictures of the train from years before, but this was the first time seeing it with my own eyes. I thought that it was a great thrill! It was also a fund raiser for the area food shelves in the towns and cities along the route where they stopped. Perhaps this is a part of the reason why I'm so happy to live here. People care about others here and they do things to help and to show that they truly care!

CP Holiday Train
Description:
Making the scheduled stop at the Amtrak Passenger Station in La Crosse, Wisconsin before crossing "the Great River" and heading into Minnesota. Next to them you can see a DM&E eastbound on the other track heading into the yard to make their setout and/ or pickup. Personally, I like this picture!

CP Holiday Train
Description:
The gates were down, and the lights were flashing! The train was NOT moving and no one really seemed to care that the crossings were blocked because it was the Holiday train! The live band concert had begun and the music was playing. Santa Clause was in town and he was collecting money and food for those who had LESS THAN we did! Here perhaps is the part that is the most important thing about this train! The reason why it runs and exists! It was a fund raiser for the area food shelves in the towns and cities along the route where they stopped.
