We can't believe this but we actually have...good news to report in regards to the CTA. Beginning this morning, four-track service was fully restored to the Fullerton station. And, don't look now, but the same will be said for the Belmont station by the end of the year, according to CTA President Ron Huberman. Said The Ron via press release: “Completing the three-track operation at Fullerton is an important milestone and marks another chapter in bringing CTA’s largest capital improvement project to fruition. We thank customers for their patience during this project and assure them the accessible stations, longer trains and modernized stations will improve the overall travel experience now and in the future.”

Meanwhile, Saturday also marks the return of the CTA Holiday Train. Today and tomorrow the train will be traveling on the Red and Purple lines - the perfect chance to scope out that completed Fullerton station. Santa and his elves will continue to traverse the city's train lines on various dates (including every Saturday and Sunday) until December 23.
