A stopover in Springwater Township by the CPKC Holiday Train is back on track.

The annual visit by the Holiday Train to Springwater was cancelled last fall, as the Township cited safety concerns about parking and the growing number of people attending the event.

The year-long delay allowed officials to work through those issues.
