The 80th Annual Santa Train crosses a trestle moments after departing its stop at Clinchco, VA in some morning golden hour light. The train is led by CSX's 3 executive FP-40H-2s numbers 1, 3, and 2.
CSX has diverse 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.
