Thumbs up Holiday CTA
I've been seeing various photographs online of a holiday El, when the CTA decorates a train or more than one train for Christmas (with lights, etc.). Is this something was done a while ago or is still done today? Seems like a neat idea.

It's not a waste of money if it brings a smile to a little boy or girl's face
