Not Montreal West or any other EXO station that the trains pass through! And there are many folks at every EXO station along the routes. I know I was at one of them last night|!

Unfortunately, I couldn't be there ... but there was positive media coverage ... https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/holiday-train-hamilton-2018-1.4923610 Will MacKenzie Dundas, ON Date: 11/29/18 22:17 Re: CPR Christmas/Holiday train (Canadian Edition) Author: ConductorsSon no pictures
