“Year after year, the CPKC Holiday Train proves that generosity and community spirit know no bounds,” said Keith Creel, CPKC president and chief executive officer. “Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who came out to see a show, donated to this great cause, and made the season a true celebration of giving.
