It will ultimately include dozens more before ending weeks later. While a popular and bright sight to see, the train also raises money and awareness for food banks along the CP network, according to a news release. The train will make its first local stop in Bensenville just before 7 p.m. Friday night. There will even be a live performance, with artists Lindsay Ell & JoJo Mason taking the stage. Anyone interested should park adjacent to the intersection of Railroad Avenue and South York Street, according to CP Railway’s website. Then, the following morning, the train will head to Pingree Grove where Ell and Mason will put on another performance from 9-9:30 a.m. Visitor parking will be available at the nearby village hall. If you aren’t able to make either of those times for whatever reason, you’ll also have another chance. The following week the holiday train will stop at Viking Middle School in Gurnee. Anyone interested is encouraged to come out Thursday, Dec. 8 at approximately 5:10 p.m. to see the stunning lights, as well as a performance by artists Alan Doyle and Kelly Prescott.
