If you want to watch the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train as it passes through Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, you'll need to follow its progress through Facebook and Facebook comments.

Typically, the train uses a tracker on its website so that viewers can watch it as it passes through states.

Unfortunately, internet traffic crashed the tracker's site this year.

Instead, the train will be using a Facebook post so that everyone can track its progress. As visitors see the train, they're encouraged to post pictures of it on the post with the time and location.

The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train estimates that it should be passing through Elkhart between 1:00 and 2:00 a.m. on Friday.
