Santa Claus has arrived in Chicago for the return of the city’s Holiday Train service.
The festive six-car train, which will operate across Chicago’s eight rail routes between November 23 and December 22, is decorated with Christmas lights and features Santa and his elves handing out candy canes.
The Holiday Train is a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) tradition which dates back more than 20 years.
Throughout the Christmas period CTA employees will also be donating and delivering approximately 300 food baskets to 30 community organisations around the city.
