2025 Holiday Train
In 2023, the Holiday Train program added its first-ever stops in Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana while the Holiday Express also touched communities in Missouri, Louisiana and Texas helping to raise important support for local communities.
This year, the Holiday Train program will add even more stops in Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana. The 2025 Holiday Train will travel more of the CPKC network then ever before. In order to bring the magic, lights and live music of the Holiday Train to more of our network, after 23 years of stopping in communities during the holiday season, the Holiday Express equipment will be retired.
To recognize the legacy of the Holiday Express, Rudy will be featured in lights with a beautifully designed mural that will be part of the U.S. Holiday Train's lighting design.
We are grateful to all the volunteers and communities who have supported the Holiday Express over the years. CPKC will continue to support these communities through the Holiday Train program and we really look forward to sharing the music, magic and community spirit the Holiday Train to an even broader audience.
While some things are changing with the Holiday Train program this year, the spirit, impact and joy that the program brings remain the same. Stay tuned for more updates this fall!
