Has anyone seen the Holiday Train?
 
It's run by CPR and stops at various locations across Canada.
It looks brilliant, kinda like the train in the Cocoa Cola christmas adds (which i love).
Just wondered if anyone has seen it and what to expect.

I saw it in 2005 and it was a good show, worth it if you ask me..

But I am a rail road nerd.

I saw it last year in Calgary as the C-Train passed it on the way home from work.

It surprised me as I wasn't expecting it, but I wouldn't hang about to get a look at it:p

Yes. it's lovely, and there's a huge turnout when it comes through our community. Up until a couple of years ago it just went through slowly, without stopping. Now they stop and put on a show.

We saw it last year and it reminded me of the Coca-Cola advert..... We didn't go and see the show but we did drive past so we could see all the lights.... Worth a look
