13 Festive Train Rides You Can Take for the Holidays

"Every holiday season a fleet of decorated transit cars runs across multiple rail lines — including elevated tracks downtown — wrapped in cheerful imagery and trimmed with Christmas trees, festive lights and candy cane–striped handrails. Santa rides alongside passengers from an open-air car, and the program also delivers food baskets to charities across the city; schedules are posted by the transit authority and regular fares apply." - Talia Avakian Talia Avakian Talia Avakian is a lifestyle reporter based in Los Angeles with a love for outdoor excursions, off-the-beaten-path local finds, remote and historic hotels, and innovations in food.
