The real feel was 6 degrees on Tuesday afternoon, but that didn’t stop us from venturing out to see the CTA holiday train, or Santa’s Express! We went to the Loyola CTA stop and waited as patiently as possible while icicles formed on my eyelashes. Finally, after about eight trains passed, the holiday train arrived to much cheering from everyone on the train platform.
