[Mpls] Holiday Train visits today and aids food shelves!

[Dyna]

	Tonight at 9:10 pm Minneapolis citizens will be given rare 
access to historic Shoreham Yards to see a troupe of musicians aboard 
Canadian Pacific Railroad's Holiday Train put on a heck of a show and 
raise food and funds for food shelves. For further information surf 
to www.cpr.ca, pick your favorite language from the english and 
french offered, and click on the Holiday Train logo.

	My late friend, railroad fanatic, and Minneapolis musician 
Laurie Dow and I always followed the Holiday Train, and in her honor 
I continue to. Like many Minneapolis musicians Laurie often was too 
broke after paying the rent to put food on the table, so I encourage 
folks to dig deep and donate plenty of food (and $$$ too) to keep our 
local musicians, artists, artisans, underpaid workers, and the 
jobless fed and healthy.

	And before I forget, thanks to the Canadian Pacific Railroad, 
who donate the use of a two million dollar locomotive, their restored 
passenger train, and thousands of hours of employee time into the 
Holiday Train's annual tour. Today I saw them hold up several freight 
trains in sidings and even delayed the Empire Builder a bit to keep 
the Holiday Train on schedule.
