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

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
