Lights, music and Christmas cheer followed the CPKC Holiday Train as it rolled through Winnipeg Wednesday night.

Families braved the cold to catch the lights and watch performers Jade Eagleson and Teigen Gayse during their stop in East Kildonan.

This is the 27th year the Holiday Train has been crossing Canada to spread some holiday cheer and raise money for food local banks. CPKC said since its inaugural journey in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more than $26 million and collected about 5.4 million pounds of food for food banks in Canada and the U.S.

Its next stop is in Portage la Prairie on Friday between 11:30 a.m. and noon, with performers Jade Eagleson and Teigen Gayse. It will then stop in Neepawa, Minnedosa and Shoal Lake before heading into Saskatchewan.
