Memorials, Recognition - CSX Santa Train -

HJR 718 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing the CSX Santa Train for its 83-year tradition of delivering holiday joy to children in Appalachia. It honors the train’s annual 110-mile journey through Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee, where it distributes toys, safety books, and cold-weather gear to hundreds of families - such as the 15,000 toys and 5,000 gear bags provided in 2025. The resolution specifically commends CSX employees, volunteers, and community partners like Appalachian Power for their role in this charitable effort. As a non-binding resolution, it has no policy impact and solely serves to publicly acknowledge the initiative’s community service.
