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.
This is dedicated (with permission) to the skilled and gifted photographer - Chase Gunnoe - who regularly posts and is on staff with RP. I believe he deserves a gallery showcasing his remarkable photos. This is for you Chase! (More great photos to come!)
