Under the lead power of Huntington, W.Va. rebuilt SD40-3 No. 4043, the 71st running of the Clinchfield Santa Train passes the iconic Dante church, as it observes a gift distribution stop along the Kingsport Subdivision in downtown Dante. Enroute to Kingsport from Pikeville, the CSX Santa Train distributes thousands of gifts to children of Appalachian communities nestled along right of the former Clinchfield Railroad.
