The holiday train features six decorated passenger railcars and one open flatcar carrying Santa in his sleigh. The holiday bus has a new gingerbread house-themed layout with a Gingerbread Court with Santa’s chair in the rear of the bus.
The holiday train traces its roots to the Blue Line in 1992, when a Season’s Greetings sign was placed on the front of an out-of-service train used to deliver food to various charities, according to the CTA.
