The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has been making it's way through Minnesota with multiple stops along the way.  This FREE event has been bringing out lots of folks to each stop.  I attended the stop in Buffalo yesterday and it was packed.

If you haven't been able to make it out, you can enjoy the pictures of it here!  Then you'll want to put it on the calendar to make it out to one of the stops next year to see this impressive show and holiday light display. The entire train is about 1,000 feet in length and has 14 decorated rail cars.

Last night we all knew it was close when the Railroad Crossing lights came on, then a few seconds later the was the sound of the train whistle and finally the twinkling beautiful lights of the decorated train cars.
