HOLIDAY TRAIN looks to pass through Chesterton EARLY in the morning of Sunday, Nov 23

The last several years the Town of Chesterton’s Facebook page has been privileged to post videos of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train—brilliantly illuminated for the season—as it passed through the Downtown on the Norfolk Southern line.

This year, it would appear that the Holiday Train is going to pass through Chesterton again, EARLY in the morning of Sunday, Nov. 23, with an ETA of 3:42 a.m. (CST).

Put that on your calendar: 3:42 a.m. (CST) Sunday, Nov. 23.

From the CPKC Holiday Train’s website: “The 2025 CPKC Holiday Train will tour Canada and the U.S. Nov. 19 through Dec. 21, raising money, food, and awareness to support food banks across our network. Professional musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train’s stage. CPKC donates to the local food banks at each stop and encourages all attendees to make a monetary or heart-healthy food donation. Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the CPKC Holiday Train has raised more than $26 million and collected approximately 5.4 million pounds of food for community food banks in Canada and the U.S.”
