2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
Is anyone aware of when the CP Holiday Train will be running through Michigan this year?

Schedules for both the Canadian and US train are listed on CP's website.

Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
so when it leaves winsor,canada it will come across the chicago line of "NS"? since CPRR has trackage rights with the NSRR to Chicago.

Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
Well, yes and no.. The CP Holiday train will take the Wabash to Butler than the NYC to Chicago. In past years this move has been at night and I will suspect it will be so this year getting out of Oakwood Yard in Melvindale, MI around 2100 or so. It is the railroad.

i understand The CP Holiday train has taken the Wabash to Butler than the NYC to Chicago in years past. however if you look at there site, it shows a map of it going the CSX to Grand Rapids then south. does anyone if there is any truth to this or will it be going south???
Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
It came thru Sand Creek, MP 65, on the Wabash line last year in the vicinity of 10-11 pm. If anyone has any updates in the Detroit area tonite when it leaves there I would appreciate it. I plan on being trackside. Ron

Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
Is that when it pulled out of windsor? Anyone know if its out of oakwood yet
Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
Left Windsor 1800, dont' know about Oakwood.
Re: 2012 CP Holiday Train Schedule
That can't be right. The show was at 5:30pm. I'd imagine that it took longer to have the show and pack-up to be leaving at 6:00pm.cpr940 wrote:Yes.

It used to when the CP had trackage rights. Now it goes the way of the rest of their trains.cyclist_dalmac wrote:i understand The CP Holiday train has taken the Wabash to Butler than the NYC to Chicago in years past. however if you look at there site, it shows a map of it going the CSX to Grand Rapids then south. does anyone if there is any truth to this or will it be going south???
