Our holiday photo contest will add some smiles to your MetroLink commute during the holiday season. You are invited to take pictures at special areas on the train for a chance to win free tickets to a St. Louis Rams game.

The Holiday Magic Train is a partnership between the St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission and Metro transit. This is the fifth year the train has been in service. You will find the festively decorated Holiday Magic Train on the Red Line on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and on the Blue Line on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the end of December.
