CTA Holiday Train 2010.mov

For 19 years the Chicago Transit Authority has operated a decorated "L" train during the Christmas shopping season. The Holiday Train includes six passenger cars and a flat car complete with a Santa sleigh, Christmas trees, reindeer, and of course, Santa Claus himself. The train operates on every line during the season and published schedules make it easy for interested parties to see the train in person. Add to them the thousands who catch a glimpse of the train purely by coincedence, and you have quite an appreciative audience.
