On December 7th, 2025, the Camp Rising Sun / CTrail Candy Cane Express operated a festive non-stop round trip on the Hartford Line from New Haven to Hartford and back, providing a memorable holiday experience for young cancer patients and their families. The seven-car special, bracketed by a GE P40BH on each end, carried over 300 passengers aboard a train decorated throughout with holiday-themed décor. In addition to music, activities, and seasonal cheer onboard, the train made a brief stop in Wallingford to pick up Santa and Mrs. Claus before continuing north, making for an unforgettable holiday journey on the Hartford Line.
