DETROIT – A popular illuminated holiday train will pass through Metro Detroit during its 2024 tour.
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will begin this tour on Nov. 21 and move through parts of Canada and the United States, according to the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) railroad company.
Michigan doesn’t have a stop on the tour, but the train will pass through after a scheduled event from 6-6:30 p.m. Nov. 25 in Windsor.

“The Holiday Train unites people in the spirit of the season as it travels across Canada and the United States, while generating critical support for our neighbors in need through the program’s support of local food banks,” said Keith Creel, CPKC president and CEO, in a release.
Since there‘s no event in Metro Detroit, there’s no guarantee the train will be lit up when it passes through. But since the event preceding its arrival ends at 6:30 p.m., it will certainly be dark enough.
Since its first journey in 1999, the train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected about 5.3 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S., according to CPKC.
