The Holiday Train Is Coming! COVID Can't Stop Santa

Riders won't be able to board the Holiday Train, but Santa's still coming.

 

Joy to the world, Santa Claus is coming to town.

 

The CTA announced Friday that not even COVID-19 can stop the beloved Holiday
Train, which will still roll through stations in 2020, albeit in a
socially-distanced manner.

 

Customers won't be able to board the train, or the companion Holiday Bus,
but the decked out Holiday Train, pulling Santa and his reindeer, will
travel along each rail line. 

 

"Each year, customers of all ages look forward to the arrival of the CTA
Holiday Train and Bus," said CTA President Dorval Carter, Jr. "Though
customers won't be able to get on board, we know that seeing the CTA Holiday
Train and Bus in neighborhoods throughout the city will bring much-needed
smiles, joy and hope for everyone."

 

The Holiday Train hits the tracks Nov. 27 and runs through Dec. 21. The
Holiday Bus hits the streets Dec. 1 through Dec. 24, traveling along 15 bus
routes. Both the train and bus will run out-of-service.
