Each year, thousands of people gather along CPR's route to enjoy the arrival of our brightly decorated trains and watch entertainers perform a live holiday concert.

This year's entertainers on the U.S. Holiday Train include Milwaukee folk-rocker Willy Porter, Nashville bluegrass/country singer-songwriter and former New Grass Revival guitarist Pat Flynn and Canadian Country Music Association Hall of Famer Tracey Brown. Entertainers on the Canadian Holiday Train include Canadian Blues rockers Wide Mouth Mason and Lisa Brokop, one of Canada's finest vocalists.

At each stop, people donate money and nonperishable food and Canadian Pacific Railway presents a check for the local food bank -- cash donations are especially appreciated because every dollar collected can distribute $9 worth of food.

Since the Holiday Train program began in 1999, more than $2.4 million and 1.2 million pounds of food have been collected.
