Ho, Ho, Ho! Here Comes Santa Claus – Riding a CTA Train!

November 11, 2011
All aboard the CTA Holiday Train! Now celebrating its 20th year, the festive CTA Holiday Train will make its first appearance Friday, November 25 spreading holiday cheer to CTA customers.  
 
Santa and his reindeer will travel with his sleigh on all rail lines in regular service as part of a six-car train decorated with multi-colored lights.  Car interiors are decked with bows, garland, red and green lighting and hand poles wrapped to look like candy canes. Festive holiday music is played to ring in another holiday season.
 
Debuting on the Green Line, the Holiday Train will travel along all CTA rail lines throughout November and December as part of its regular rail service. Normal CTA fares apply.
