Freshly painted Clinchfield Railroad No. 800 leads the 75th running of the Santa Train southbound on home rails, spanning the Copper Creek viaduct. The locomotive was recently painted at CSX's Huntington Locomotive Shops for debut on the annual Santa Train. The effort was coordinated by key CSX personnel, the Southern Appalachia Railway Museum, and others.
