The 2024 Canadian Pacific Holiday Train went through Fort McCoy, Wis., on Dec. 9, 2024, on its way from Tomah to Sparta, Wis.
The 2024 Holiday Train is touring Canada and the U.S. from Nov. 21 through Dec. 20, raising money, food and awareness to support food banks across their network.
Professional musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train's stage. Canadian Pacific donates to the local food bank at each stop and encourages all attendees to make a monetary or heart-healthy food donation.
Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected approximately 5.3 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S., according to the railway.
Rail traffic rolls through Fort McCoy daily, including many Canadian Pacific trains.
As this train made its way through the post, dozens of Fort McCoy community members were out to watch it slowly ride through.
Fort McCoy’s motto is to be the “Total Force Training Center.”
Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.
The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services nearly every year since 1984.
