SANTA TRAIN ROLLS THROUGH APPALACHIA

[WKYT website report]

 

ELKHORN CITY, KY, NOV. 23, 2013:...Rolling through the hills of Appalachia for its seventy-first 110-mile trip, running from Selby, Kentucky, to Kingsport, Tennessee, the Santa train made several stops where children anxiously awaited a glimpse of Santa.

Santa with his many helpers gave out toys, candy and clothing at each stop....Kree Harrison, American Idol runnerup, helped pass out gifts as the group delivered more than 15 tons of items to children.

Carla Groleau with CSX said:..."Santa Train is something we plan for and look forward to each year....It is one of the many ways we give back to the communities in which we operate."

Showing that when Santa comes to town he delivers more than just gifts, but the spirit of giving and Christmas joy.
