It definitely looks better at night. My wife and I used to have a Christmas tradition of driving out to Banff for dinner and then going to see the Holiday Train. It's really something seeing that thing come in all lit up in the snow, with the whistle echoing off the mountains - it kind of gives you the chills. They put on a pretty decent show too - definitely worth taking the whole family out to see if you get the chance.

Very classy for CP to keep this thing going. They have been doing this since 1999 and in that time have collected over 4.8 million in donations and 2.3 million pounds of food, all handed over to local food banks.
