No surprise, CSX did the same thing.
Sorry this happened, but understandable. It also appears from the experts that as winter sets in, along with the influenza season, the Covid situation is going to be real ugly. I'm sure the railroads looked at these things before spending all the money necessary to do their Christmas trains.
Well, Folks....let's not disappoint ourselves. What say that just after Halloween we start a thread showing part of parts of our layouts, or even a consist .....dressed up for Christmas with lights and ornaments....or what have you!!
Actually, by not having the train, CP could use those costs and apply it to the food program. On line does not have the visual impact however.
I wander if another factor is involved, at least in the US. With a possible unresolved political situation, and an agitated population, maybe CP did not want a target out there. Even with the train doing a positive good. Of course CP would not mention this in public.
