Since its first trip in 1999, the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train has raised more than $24.3 million and collected about 5.3 million pounds of food.
The Canadian Pacific Train runs on the tracks through those communities. The train that comes through St. Cloud is Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF), a different company.
