On the first two weekends, Dec 1 and Dec 8, the Holiday Train will operate its northbound trip from Second Avenue on the F/M route one station stop to Broadway Lafayette.  After leaving that station, the train will switch tracks and arrive at West 4 Street on the A/C and E level of the West 4th Street station and proceed north on the local track that carries the C and E line trains to 14 Street/8th Avenue station and northward under 8th Avenue following the C line to 59 Street Columbus Circle, and then onward on the A and D line to 125th Street and 8th Avenue.  There, the train will discharge all passengers and operate to a turn-back track in the tunnels between stations and head south under 8th Avenue, this time following the D line to 59 St and turning east to 7th Avenue and 53rd Street then south under 6th Avenue to 47-50 Street Rockefeller Center and operate on the D line to Broadway Lafayette Street after which it would follow the F and M line for one more station down to  its terminus at Second Avenue and Houston Street.  On the last 3 weekends, the Holiday Train will operate in both directions from Second Avenue/Houston Street under 6th Avenue and operate all the way up to the 145 Street / 8th Avenue station before returning south..
 
See the details below for the schedule and the exact routings this train will take during each of the 5 Sundays during the holiday season.
 
Happy riding and photographing !
