Chicago students gets his wish to drive CTA train

CHICAGO (CBS)  — Monday is World Wish Day, and a nine-year-old Chicago boy got a doozy of a wish granted to him.

Idris always wanted to drive a CTA train, and on Monday, he got a chance to get behind the controls, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. 

A specially chartered Green Line train had friends, family, and other well-wishers onboard.

After safely navigating the EL tracks, Idris got a special train line named after him!
