Last year marked the first year for the MetroLink holiday train in St. Louis, and we are proud to present the 2nd Annual Holiday Magic Train, brought to you by Metro and the Convention and Visitors Commission (CVC) of St. Louis for another holiday season!

The Holiday Magic Train is a partnership with the CVC to promote public transit, as well as the Holiday Magic event in America’s Center December 2-4, and the holiday spirit in St. Louis. Last year, we heard wonderful comments from riders and Metro employees who enjoyed traveling on the festive train which was adorned with blue and silver Fleur-di-lis snowflakes. This year, the Holiday Magic Train will again travel on both the Blue and Red Lines from 4:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. on select Saturdays and Sundays.
