Canadian Pacific Holiday Train<\/a> creates the ultimate Christmas feeling by traveling around during the holidays and raise awareness for the homeless. The train is decorated with bells, a lot of flashing lights and a part of the train is able to transform into a stage for concerts. Every year, thousands of spectators are waiting for the train along the way or at the various stations.<\/p>\nCapture the spirit<\/h3>\n
