CPKC Holiday Train First Time Ever to Saint John - 2024

[@karatechick9428]

I was driving back from Maine to home (Halifax) on Thursday evening and saw this as we were going through St. John. my passenger was able to get a partial video but it's so nice to be able to see the whole train! The little bit that we were able to see as we were driving by was awesome.

Awesome video. Gives a whole new meaning to " The early bird gets the worm ". Night shots were particularly sharp. They did a super job on the McAdam station too.

[@MonstersAlongTheRails1]

@Steve-xf4uv alarm was set for 2am, well worth it.

Fantastic video! The NBSR SD70 upfront was a really nice touch, and McAdam station looked great!

[@DarkpawTheWolf]

I just got back from there. I knew you'd have a video up about this. :)

[@gail9227]

What a treat to see ! Thanks to all the people who designed this wonderful display on the train ! Made my holidays for sure ! Worked on the Delaware and Hudson/Amtrack Adirondack in the sit down dining car years ago! Albany to Montreal run ! Happy Holidays ! Thanks for sharing !

[@Chuck59ish]

Good to see them back in Saint John after the first train headed West in 1881. CPKC adds alot to the economy of Saint John and New Brunswick.

[@MrBnsftrain]

Amazing to see that NB Southern system hosted CPKC's Holiday Train with the help of their own SD70M-2. Especially at that decorated station

[@BF-qt2wp]

[@TRENES_ONLINE]

Good video 😊 my Friends 😊

[@jgunn03]

Are there passengers on the train? Is there a live conductor? How are they collecting money and food? How does the fundraiser work?

CPKC Christmas Train would be more honest. Merry Christmas.

This is a serene type Christmas train, viewing in Seoul, South Korea. 이것은 서울, 대한민국에서 볼 수 있는 고요한 형태의 크리스마스 기차입니다.

Why is the SD70 on the front? I have only seen this train the CP engine.

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

Next thing you know, CPKC buys back the New Brunswick southren railway all the way to Saint John.

[@dalecaines981]

@@Opinionatedguy1989 but I bet the JDI (Irving) won't let it go.

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

@dalecaines981 they will if Creel wants it bad enough and at the right price.

[@railfannernb2024]

@@Opinionatedguy1989Irving has actually owned the tracks and Right of Way since 1941, and leased it to CP from 1941 until their abandonment East of Montreal in 1994. I could see a similar situation happen again, but Irving will not let the Right of Way go.

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

@@railfannernb2024 deals can be made for the right price. Everyone has a price.

[@Maine_Railfan]

Irving wont sell. CP made a offer in 2021 and they were told that JDI is fine with moving traffic for them, but they wont sell. Irving isn't in the railroad business for the reasons other railroad companies are. For the price of maintenance, crude oil, and manpower they are able to move raw materials to their mills and finished products west for what is pennies on the dollar. Considering CPKC can't even manage to keep container contract, the mixed freight Irving creates is keeping the former CMQ network profitable. No matter the agreement, CPKC couldn't match those prices without loosing their hides. Additionally, the Irvings have seen how CPKC hasn't been able to staff their Atlantic Division which has lead to consistent service disruptions, which is why they entered the railroad business in the first place. Bottom line is there isn't a price or agreement CPKC could make which could get Irving to sell. The railroad is too much of an integral part of their lumber, wallboard, paper, fuel, and agriculture divisions to hand over to someone else.

[@TubbyTubberson]

Such a shame CPKC can't be bothered to give those box cars some much needed love and a paint job. Some of those wheels sound like their ready to fracture.
