CPKC: The Holiday Express Experience!

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! This is one of my favorite videos that I've ever made! So many great people that help keep this tradition going! We are so thankful for the opportunity to act as "elfs". Truly a memorable experience. Thanks for watching!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Merry Christmas everyone! Also, we have a Facebook page now! So go check it out!

Merry Christmas!

I live in DeRidder and me and my granddaughter have seen it 3 times. The best and first time was when she was about 6 years old. We all love it here in DeRidder. Long lines but so worth it!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

DeRidder was a great show this year! Merry Christmas!

[@metalheadrailfan]

Kinda sucks that the Holiday Express couldn't come up to the KCS home city. While it was nice to see the Holiday Train come here, it isn't the same without Rudy and F units.

[@AMPProductionsVideo]

I was able to see this Train in Meridian, very glad the F-Units were on it and they were still lettered for KCS

[@frankbucholtz8713]

Thanks for posting this. We are in B.C., Canada and took our daughter and granddaughters to the CPKC Holiday Train in the small town of Agassiz last Sunday. There were more than 1,500 people on hand. It is very interesting to see the KCS Holiday Express and how it is set up. It is good that the newly-merged railroad is keeping both Christmas traditions intact. I hope to get the chance to see the Holiday Express one day - I learned a lot about it from the video. Love those Southern Belle F-units. I also enjoyed seeing the train on the bridge into Vicksburg. We were there in January in what I hope will be the first of many visits to the U.S. South.

[@Train2589]

[@texastrainfan56]

I got to see the Holiday Express in Pittsburg Tx and Wylie Tx it was awesome to see I'm thinking of volunteering for it next year. I also got to see the Holiday Train in Shreveport they put on a really nice performance for us!

[@zwmrailfan]

Cool video! I was on the chase from Wharton to Victoria.

[@katkatsdubbie]

This train passed right by my house, but I was at work. Hope to see it in person someday.

[@SouthEastRailfan]

Always glad to see y’all catching the holiday train. I was there in Jackson later that night. Hate I missed ya out there at high oak. Thanks for sharing! -Will

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Merry Christmas

[@AustinRailProductionsOfficial]

Nice video! I visited the holiday express at Victoria, TX

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Probably saw you there, but didn’t know it. I was on the platform on the green caboose helping people down. Merry Christmas!

[@AustinRailProductionsOfficial]

@@LouisianaRailProductions speaking of that I think I saw you as the elf when I got done touring the train. Merry Christmas to you too!

[@hulenwarren2986]

Bishop, once again you nailed it. Sorry we were not on at the same time, maybe next year. Merry Christmas,

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Merry Christmas my friend! Keep in touch!

[@Hangnail-vb1zz]

Outstanding video. Well done. Cheers and Merry Christmas to you.

[@RFMCabooseNP1713]

That was very cool. Have a Merry Christmas.

[@jennsjourney23]

Great video! So glad you get to spread some joy to all those who get to see the train!

[@KickininMyRv90]

It is wonderful that major railways can brighten the hearts of everyone at Christmas. Does this train collect food for local foodbanks?

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

KCS partnered with the Salvation Army over the years, and I wanna say this year CPKC donated a check to each section. To be honest, I don’t know the exact details of how all that worked this year.

[@greyghostproductions0938]

Nice video man, and merry Christmas.

[@trainanswererguy8758]

Merry Christmas Brayden!

[@Kansas-Trains]

TY Brother and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours. 😊🎄🙏

[@miquelbotello4608]

🤘🚂 Awesome video, was great finally meeting you out in Victoria, TX buddy. Keep up the amazing videos. -Miquel @Corpus Christi, TX

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Man I hate we weren’t able to visit more! I eventually plan on making a run down in that area, and I’ll hit you up when I do.

[@miquelbotello4608]

Heck yeah, I totally agree.. but we'll definitely have to meet up in the future,even if you make your way out here to. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@DylanRailVids04]

Enjoyed every minute of this video man. You did great on this one! It was great being out there and enjoying the Holiday Express experience with you bro! Hope you have a great Christmas Bishop!

[@StormySkyRailProductions]

Awesome video and enjoyed watching. Merry Christmas to you and your family.(Steve)

[@SimonTog]

Very nice video and Merry Christmas :)

[@realmickmanning]

Thank you so much for covering the Holiday Train. Strangely, up here in Canada, we've become anti-Christmas, and anti-fun, and folks aren't allowed 'anywhere' near the train, but just applaude from a distance. You guys do it right.

[@the_mississippian_railfan]

I remember seeing it stop in Pearl Mississippi in 2022 It was neat seeing the OCS Units

[@andow21]

Hey Dude!!! I just missed you in DeRidder this year since I had work unfortunately. Love the Video! My girlfriend and niece were at DeRidder One. My girl told me her niece had a blast and is starting to love trains! Hopefully next year we can met up at DeRidder!!!

[@sernajrlouis]

Awesome video. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@killersopinion1829]

Merry Christmas Bro

[@wildberrygarage4348]

I was in Coushatta with my family and I saw a dude with a CPKC hat and tripod... I had a sneaking suspicion that was probably you!!

[@LouisianaRailProductions]

Haha yessir that was me!

[@outlawriderandoubletrouble]

The 2caboosrs are of former ICG an the baggage car the Heavener is the only car that was actual Southern Belle

[@killersopinion1829]

The Arthur E. Stillwell car is the former Midsouth Rail business car "The Prospector."

[@philiph3156]

Hey - can you ask the. To pork the business train better next year in Jackson so I can get it fully photographed? That was my only disappointment with its most southern visit.

[@crystalboutte9880]

Is the Canadian pacific train coming to Louisiana?

[@killersopinion1829]

It came to Shreveport, then went back north.

[@crosbytrains]

I’m almost at 200 😊

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Im sorry but thos burgundy colored cars are ugly and boring. The original paint sceme is so much better
