The CP holiday Train is perhaps one of the most decorative trains in North America during the Xmas season. Below is a schedule Dispatcher42 produced and I have copied and pasted it here. If anyone has the American schedule that would be great (there are two trains):

Hi Rick...

I just replied to you over at trains.com!

Here's the "official" link with all schedules:

http://www8.cpr.ca/cms/English/General+Public/Holiday+Train/default.htm

Hey Chris - any chance it will cross the trestle where you took those great shots of the SOO unit? Or the big bridge over the 401? Tha would be something to see!! Does anyone know if it stays lit during its entire run, or is it just at the station? (I have sent an email to CPR's community connection contact, but no reply yet.)
