The Christmas train will travel through New York in November: where will it stop?
Each holiday season, a special train travels across the United States and Canada to help local food banks and provide entertainment at every train station it stops at.
This year, the Canadian Pacific holiday train will travel through New York’s North Country and Capital Region with stops in Fort Edward, Saratoga Springs and Menands, News 10 reports.
In 2022, the holiday train made its first route after the COVID-19 pandemic, and this year it will make stops for the 25th time in various localities from November 20 to December 19, including in 15 states, as well as in Canada. All stops in New York fall on November 24th and 25th.
The New York journey will begin in Albany, then head north through the Adirondacks before heading to Monreal and Canada. During all stops, Canadian country-pop singer Trudy and indie musician Virginia to Vegas will perform on board the train.
