One of my all-time favorite holiday books growing up was The Polar Express, a story about a young boy who takes a magical train ride to see Santa and the gift he receives. I loved it, and always wanted to take such a train. Alas, I never took the Polar Express, but if you’re in Chicago and are gunning for such an opportunity, check out the CTA’s Holiday Train.
I was lucky enough to catch this guy unexpectedly one day. It was awesome. It was like I hit the blue line jackpot; it sure beat sitting in a dingy old CTA train playing the game “name that smell/stain”.
If you’re interested click here to check out the train’s schedule. A ride on the train costs $2.25. The train runs now through December 22, so get a move on!
