Article with days of the week

Can someone tell me if I have arrived at a correct conclusion?  

Il prend le train le vendredi. = He takes the train on Fridays.

Il prend le train vendredi. = He is taking the train Friday.

If there's a lesson on when to use articles with days of the week, I would appreciate a link!  Thank you.
