🎄Tonight!! 🚂

Tonight is the night and we are absolutely buzzing with excitement! The CPKC Holiday Train is about to come rumbling through northern Indiana, lighting up the night and sprinkling joy and magic in equal measure. And listen... If you’ve never stood trackside in the cold in some random little midwestern Hallmark town, clutching a thermos, waiting for a glowing train to appear like some festive fever dream, then darling… You have not lived.

We’re bundling up (and possibly overdosing on caffeine since this is happening way past our bedtime) and heading to Waterloo to catch her in all her shimmering glory - and because we adore you, we’ll be live streaming the whole thing for everyone who can’t make it out this year. Yes, it’ll be in the wee hours. Yes, your sleep schedule may file a complaint, but is it worth it? Absolutely.

For a lot of families, this is the official moment the holiday season kicks off, and we’re honored to bring that magic right to your screen.

And as if to prove a point about how wonderful this event is, Mama Nature finally decided not to act up. Lows in the 40s and upper 30s. Dry skies. A mild breeze. No freezing rain trying to dim your joy. Honestly, that feels like a Christmas miracle and we'll take it.

So tell us. What’s your family’s official kickoff to the holiday season? The movie marathon? The tree hunt? That one cousin who puts their lights up so thick it shortens the lifespan of the neighborhood transformer? We want to hear all of it!

As always;
Stay Aware. Stay Safe. And Don't Get Twisted!
