Canadian Pacific's Holiday Train passes through Bensenville
There was lots of excitement in Bensenville Friday night. Camera phones were raised as everyone waited to capture Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train.
"The Holiday Train is all about families and communities coming together to celebrate the season and help those in need. We are excited to be back out on the rails and in our communities, taking these two beautiful trains across our network and sharing the joy that comes with gathering in the spirit of giving," said Keith Creel, CP's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Holiday Train shows are free to attend. Canadian Pacific asks attendees to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation if they're able.
Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event, with all donations made staying with the local food bank to help people in need in the community.
