The annual Marine Toys For Tots train is out and about this weekend. I guess the regime change impacted the consist because the 10031 is not involved this year.

It does feature NS Heritage Unit 911, Amtrak Heritage Unit 156, three bags, three coaches, a table car and the 10021.

The train you mentioned is operated by CP Rail, whose tracks are between Albany and the Canadian border. (Previously D&H) This is the CP Rail Holiday train. They also have scheduled Holiday train runs on other trackage of theirs in the US.

Grrr. There are two of them. One is the CP train and one is the Amtrak train, chartered and sponsored by the Marines. I've had trouble linking the public information correctly in the past.

If you're saying the link above is for the CP train (which I didn't think was the case,) it would be much appreciated if you can find a public link for the Marine train. I believe there is a link and reference on Facebook, if you're able to view it.
