The people of Dante, VA., have all gathered trackside in their small community to see Santa Claus riding on the rear of the 80th anniversary CSX Santa Train. Running south down the Kingsport Sub from Shelbiana, KY., to Kingsport, TN., as P001-19, CSXT 1, 3 & 2 prepares for their 7th stop along the trip to throw toys out to all the kids before proceeding on south to the next stop.
CSX has extensive passenger operations that include office car specials, trips to major events like the Kentucky Derby, track geometry trains and the annual Santa Claus train over the northern section of the fallen flag Clinchfield Railroad.
