Eastern Railroad Discussion > CP Christmas Train in WisconsinDate: 12/10/05 18:42 CP Christmas Train in Wisconsin Author: kschmidt626 Greetings,
Had the chance to catch the US version of CP's Christmas Train. The train was scheduled to stop in Sturtevant, Wisconsin at 8:05pm, I believe it arrived about 45 minutes late. This was due to commuter train traffic in Chicago. It was unfortunate because with a temperature of about 10 degrees and a windchill around 0 it got cold real fast. Sadly there was a large crowd at the Sturtevant Depot at 8pm, but by 8:30 many of them had left because of the cold. The train did look good when it arrived. I didn't really catch much of the show, but I did get some shots of the train. Here is one of the CP #9714 stopped at Sturtevant, WI Date: 12/10/05 18:44 Re: CP Christmas Train in Wisconsin Author: kschmidt626 Date: 12/10/05 18:45 Re: CP Christmas Train in Wisconsin Author: kschmidt626 Date: 12/10/05 18:46 Re: CP Christmas Train in Wisconsin Author: kschmidt626 Looking south from mid-train at the backside of the stage car and the passenger cars on the rear of the train.
