There may be no greater joy for a CTA commuter than to be surprised by the holiday train pulling into the station, as happened to me today. But for those who like to plan our their transit festiveness, here’s the CTA’s full holiday train schedule.
To get to the CTA Blue Line train, drive to the Cumberland station (on Cumberland just south of Higgins on the Park Ridge-Chicago border) and pay $5 to park in the parking garage, which you enter from the southbound lanes of Cumberland (stay to the right).
