Holiday Train

On Nov. 30, hundreds waited at the Depot

This was the 19th annual trip of the beautifully lit Canadian Pacific Holiday Train. It came through Waterloo on its way to Chicago on Thursday night, November 30, around 12:15 a.m. Thank you everyone who donated – we collected canned fruit or vegetables with pull-tab lids for local food pantries, and offered hot chocolate, cookies, games and good company while we waited in the Depot for the train. This was a really fun night ans we can’t wait until next year!
