The MTA Metro-North Railroad unveiled its first-ever holiday lights train, which will run across several lines starting Friday.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- The MTA Metro-North Railroad is lighting up its passengers' rides with its first-ever holiday lights train.

Starting Friday, the holiday lights train will run on three Metro-North Railroad lines and operate through New Year's.

You can catch the train on the following lines:


  1. Hudson Line between Grand Central Terminal and Croton-Harmon

  2. Harlem Line between Grand Central Terminal and Southeast

  3. New Haven Line between Grand Central Terminal and New Haven

"I'm thrilled that Metro-North can bring the joy, beauty and lights of the season to all of our riders on their way to work, school or to see family and friends during the holidays, and to those who see it roll through their towns," said Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi. "Metro-North is the safest, most reliable, greenest and most festive way to get to the many holiday destinations in New York City, the Hudson Valley and Connecticut."

MTA Metro-North Railroad announced 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.
