Holiday train locomotives


 

Would anyone have the numbers of the engines on the 3 Holiday Trains for this year? I would suppose they will all be in fresh CPKC livery.

Nope, just standard CP attire. To my knowledge the only CPKC painted loco is the 1/3 scale Little General that they use in parades and possibly their green and silver hydrogen test bed locomotive?

I saw the US Holiday parked at Toronto Lambton earlier in the week. Our Canadian train show is Tuesday 28th. What's the 3rd train? In The States? Thanks.?

The third train will operate on the former KCS in Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi using the three KCS F-units and a mix of former KCS Business Cars and a few modified freight cars. The same as prior years.

There are actually four holiday trains. The fourth is the Tren Navide?o
which has operated in Mexico since 2010. It travels to specially organized
events in poorer communities.

I saw the US train this week in Milton, and it had nice 'fresh' CP livery only.
Many (but not all) of the cars were lit with CPKC. Some with just CP.

????????The third train is in the southern U.S. and is called the Holiday Express rather than the Holiday Train. Could be a train the KCS on its part operated for the holidays that has been incorporated into the CP[KC}.
See <>. When travelling between shows the map displays a tracker.
