The CTA's holiday train is turning 21 this year -- the agency released its schedule for this year's festive run.
Offering an excuse to skip the big-box Black Friday sales, the holiday train -- in all its decked-out glory -- is set to hit the Green Line on Nov. 23, in addition to Nov. 24 and Nov. 28. According to the CTA, the train will operate between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on weekdays and 1 and 8 p.m. on weekends.

The holiday train tradition began in 1992 when a "Season's Greetings from the CTA" sign was affixed to the front of a train delivering food to charities. The train first carried passengers in 1996 and, since then, has become just one of the city's most popular trademarks of the holiday season.
The train is so revered that it inspired a play, opening Nov. 24, based on locals' experiences of catching a ride on the colorful, cheerful chariot.
