Country Music star Wynonna Judd is joining CSX as the special guest on the 2009 Santa train. 

Wynonna, who is originally from Ashland, Ky., is revisiting her childhood as a part of her partnership with CSX, Food City and the Kingsport Area Chamber of Commerce. 

The 67th annual Santa Train will make 14 stops in the mountains of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee on Nov. 21. Wynonna, Santa Claus and volunteers will deliver 15 tons of toys to thousands of Appalachian residents that live along the route. 

“Sharing the joy of the season with children who grew up just like I did is something that I am so privileged to have the opportunity to do,” Wynonna said. “Appalachia has always been close to my heart, and participating in the Santa Train is something very special to me.”

After riding the train, Wynonna will begin her third annual “A Classic Christmas” tour the weekend after Thanksgiving.
