The Port Authority posted photos of the T car on their Twitter account, saying, "We know riding the light rail system was a bit of a hassle this year — what with flooding and a freight train falling on Station Square."

The "Holiday Express" is decorated both inside, with colorful lights and decorations, and outside, with a wreath on the front of the car and the words "Holiday Express" in the windows.
