Santa Claus Is Coming To (Up)Town

Keep your eyes open this week for the CTA's Holiday Train coming through Uptown! You can't ride this year for obvious reasons, but Santa is making his yearly trek around the various Chicago train lines.

There isn't a time schedule, so it will be a surprise when the train comes through. The most the CTA can tell us is to look in the afternoons and in the evenings.

Here's the daily schedule:

• Red Line: December 8, 10 and 12
• Purple Line: December 9, 11 and 12

The daily routes for the Holiday Train and Holiday Bus are here, on the CTA website.
