MTA Metro-North Railroad announced that their first ever Holiday Lights Train will light up the rails on all three lines starting Friday, Nov. 29, and operating through New Year’s. 

The Holiday Lights Train will be festooned with colorful exterior lights and special holiday-themed safety messages will play at selected stations. The lights have been applied to an electric train and will operate on the Hudson Line between Grand Central Terminal (GCT) and Croton-Harmon, on the Harlem Line between GCT and Southeast, and on the New Haven Line between GCT and New Haven. The Holiday Lights Train will operate on a random rotation of regularly scheduled trains on all three lines at all times of day and night.
