Folks around the region got in the Christmas spirit a little early this morning. Santa Claus started his route from Shelbyanna, Kentucky to Kingsport, Tennessee today for the 74th annual CSX Santa train. The Santa train makes 13 stops in total and three of them are right here in eastern Kentucky. Shelbyanna, Marbone and Elkhorn City. Despite it being dark, chilly and even rainy, hundreds gathered at each spot to hopefully catch a gift thrown from Santa and his helpers from the caboose. Most were successful. I got poor stuffed animals, a bunch of bags and candy. We just got toys from the Santa train. Is this your first time you've been out here? No, this is our second time. What's your favorite part? Getting toys and waving at Santa. I got two of them big bags and this and a lot of other stuff. After stops in Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee and 15 tons of toys and food are thrown from the Santa train, Santa will exit the Santa train and make an appearance in the Kingsport Christmas Parade. The Santa train is made possible by CSX and the Kingsport Chamber of Commerce. Reporting from the Santa train for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
