My father retired from CSX after 35 years of employment. He’s gone now. Watching the Santa train reminds me of how good the company was to him and my family. Thanks for posting and Merry Christmas East Kentucky Railfan

Awesome chase of the Santa Train! UP 3985 disguised as Clinchfield 676 for the Santa Train in the 1990s one time. CSX has kept this tradition alive for many years.

[@eastkentuckyrailfan]

L&N unit is suppose to be heading that way soon as well!

[@zacmoore6209]

Great vid man, is there a gradient on the big sandy sub that you film on?

[@eastkentuckyrailfan]

Thanks!! As for the Big Sandy not much on the Main line Some of the coal branches however has some grade to them

[@harrisdail9939]

CSX needs to incorporate a steam program like UP has and let a true locomotive pull it

[@eastkentuckyrailfan]

CSX Has banned Steam from their system’s tracks. Hopefully they reverse that decision and will let steam on the line and the Santa Train one day.
