This is the last week you can ride the holiday CTA train!
If you haven't hopped aboard the Allstate CTA Holiday fleet of trains and buses this year, you've got one last chance to catch them as they roll through Chicago neighborhoods.
The CTA holiday train began choo-chooing through the city Nov. 25, along eight different lines. The multi-car train, decorated with holiday scenes, sparking lights and other decorations, also includes Santa and his reindeer riding alongside it, "traveling from rail line to rail line to greet children and families," a press release from CTA earlier this year said.
The final holiday train will run on the Yellow Line Tuesday. It will roll into the Howard station at 3:08 p.m. and 6:53 p.m., and stop at the Dempster-Skokie station at 3:22 p.m. and 7:07 p.m.
Finally, Mr. Claus himself will be riding atop the bus, ready to deliver toys.
Here's when and where to catch it:
- #79 79th: Tuesday, from 12:10 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- #28 Stony Island: Wednesday, from 12:00 p.m. to 6:10 p.m.
- #29 State: Thursday, from 12:20 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- #J14 Jeffrey Jump: Friday, from 11:05 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.
Here's how to track the holiday bus. Normal CTA fares apply.
How fun!
