Here's the schedule for the CTA's Holiday Train

For many commuters in Chicago, it's the most wonderful time of year: the CTA's holiday train is back.

The six-car train bedecked in lights and even Santa's sleigh will return Friday after a practice run last weekend, the Chicago Transit Authority announced Monday.

The train will run through Dec. 22 after a trip on all the CTA's lines. This fall marks the 26th year for the Chicago holiday tradition.

The CTA says the train "generally operates" from about 1 to 8 p.m. on weekends and 3 to 7 p.m. on select weekdays. An additional "Elves' Workshop Train" will accompany the holiday train on Saturdays.
