Despite thick clouds and occasional flurries, it's a big crowd waiting for the 2024 CPKC Holiday Train's stop in Cartier, ON. The former CPR station, now used by Via, is open for people to warm up and swap a donation for some hot chocolate or a baked good. These small-town stops are incomparable to the big cities, for all the right reasons.

    You sure that is not the whole town out there to greet the train? This is amazing, actually. What a great photo.

    A wonderful “Christmas Spirit” picture, calling out Merry, Merry Christmas everyone ! Nothing like small town Christmas Spirit, and better yet, as viewed through the window of an actual active passenger station ! Well done !
