Metra has added an extra holiday-themed train to its schedule this season in response to popular demand.

The extra train will depart from University Park Station at 4 p.m. Nov. 30 and then stop at the North Pole winter wonderland at Millennium Station, which will feature holiday treats and activities.

Tickets for the previously scheduled holiday-themed trains went on sale last week and sold out within minutes. Metra said it expects this additional experience to sell out quickly too.

Tickets went on sale at noon on Tuesday and can be purchased at shop.metra.com.

Meanwhile, the CTA has announced their holiday train schedule.

As the train pulls into each station, Santa waves to riders from his sleigh on an open-air flatcar carrying his reindeer and decorated holiday trees.

The Holiday Train will travel all CTA rail lines beginning in late November through late December as part of regular rail service, making stops at all stations along the respective routes.
