The Chicago Transit Authority's beloved Holiday Train brought Santa Claus to Jefferson Park on Saturday, November 29. Parents, children and railfans of all ages turned out along the Blue Line right of way to join in the festivities.

The event is especially fun for photographers, as it's the one time of the year when they're not threatened with arrest by CTA gauleiters.

Watch the video all the way through to learn who Santa contacts on the "Green Phone."

There's still time to catch the Holiday Train. Check the CTA website for Santa's schedule.
