First time chasing a train, and first time venturing out to Kentucky & Virginia for trains. The last time CSX ran the Santa Train was all the way back in 2019. Until this year, the event was on hold due to the pandemic we all know by now. Considering this was the first time since they ran it in 2019, and the first time they ran it with the B&O painted OCS, railfans across the nation came down here to witness the return of this train. I ended up chasing this with BuckeyeNationRailroader from Haysi Virginia all the way to Copper Creek in addition to catching a train or 2 in Paintsville & Natural Tunnel before and after the chase.
