CPKC Holiday Train 2025 Lights Up Minnesota Winter Nights 🎄🚆 2025 CPKC Holiday Train – CP 2246 GP20C-ECO 🚆🎄 Experience the magic of the 2025 CPKC Holiday Train as it travels through Minnesota with locomotive CP 2246, a rebuilt EMD GP20C-ECO, beautifully decorated and lighting up the winter night. On Sunday, December 14, we capture the Holiday Train along the MN&S Spur in the Twin Cities’ western suburbs, including Crystal, Golden Valley, and St. Louis Park. The following Monday evening, we chase the train west out of the Twin Cities on the CPKC Paynesville Sub, beginning in Medina and ending in Eden Valley. This video features spectacular nighttime footage, including dramatic scenes of the Holiday Train crossing the Crow River bridge in Rockford, Minnesota, showcasing the glow of the train against the winter landscape. 🎁 About the Holiday Train The Holiday Train is operated by Canadian Pacific Kansas City and has been spreading holiday cheer and giving back to communities for over 25 years. Since its inception in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised millions of dollars and pounds of food for local food shelves and hunger-relief organizations across the U.S. and Canada. Each stop encourages donations that stay local, directly supporting families in need during the holiday season. 🚂 Locomotive Details CP 2246 Rebuilt EMD GP20C-ECO Modernized for efficiency while retaining classic EMD character 📍 Filming Locations Include: MN&S Spur – Crystal, Golden Valley, St. Louis Park Paynesville Sub – Medina to Eden Valley Crow River Bridge – Rockford, MN 00:00 Open 00:10 Crystal 01:22 Golden Valley 02:20 St Louis Park 04:06 Golden Valley Shove 05:10 Medina 06:04 Rockford 06:56 Dickinson 08:34 Buffalo 09:12 Maple Lake 10:14 Annandale 11:13 East of Kimbell If you enjoy holiday trains, railroad history, night railfanning, and Midwestern rail action, be sure to like, comment, and subscribe for more! #mnrails #HolidayTrain #ChristmasTrain #CPKCHolidayTrain #ChristmasLights #HolidayMagic #WinterWonderland #TrainWithLights #MinnesotaChristmas #TwinCities #RockfordMN #CrowRiver #HolidaySeason #FamilyFriendly #Christmas2025 #GivingBack #FoodShelf #Community #FestiveLights    / @mnrails     / mnrails   https://www.flickr.com/photos/schrist...   / schristie1970   MNRails logo created by Samantha Christie Carol Of The Bells by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
