Holiday Trains will run on the Metra Electric, BNSF, Milwaukee District North, Rock Island, Union Pacific Northwest, and Union Pacific North lines.
On the Metra Electric Line, the experience will also include a visit to a North Pole winter wonderland at Millennium Station, where families can enjoy treats, holiday music, face painting, games, and other fun activities. Other downtown stations will be decorated to spread holiday cheer to participants as well as regular riders, and the holiday trains will also be used in regular service during December.
