Canadian Pacific’s Holiday Train stopped in Red Wing Minnesota on December 12, 2004 and a 30 minute holiday show was performed by the professional musicians traveling on board. Boxcar CP 220563 was part of the consist, which also included heavyweight passenger cars used as living and dining quarters by the train’s crew, entertainers, and support staff on their journey through Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota. In exchange for the free entertainment, spectators were encouraged to provide non perishable food items for the local food shelf. (Time - 16:58)
