The CTA holiday train and bus are back this holiday season for its 33rd edition, and the official schedule is finally here!
The holiday train will make its first trip on Friday, November 29, along the Green Line.
From there the train will make the rounds, traversing the Orange, Brown, Pink, Blue, Red, Purple, and Yellow Lines, according to a tweet from the CTA.
Santa’s train ride through Chicago is a cherished winter tradition, offering a magical twist to the daily commute. With its dazzling decorations and festive atmosphere, the Holiday Train is sure to brighten anyone’s day.
Dating back to 1992, the holiday fleet’s original purpose was to deliver food to various charities.
The year the train will continue the decades-old tradition of donating food baskets to local community organizations while it whizzes around Chicagoland delivering holiday cheer to all.
