Santa Train / Sleigh Ride - The Petersens (LIVE)

The "Santa Train" travels 110 miles through the Appalachian Mountains passing out toys and candy to kids on its 14 stops. The Santa Train started out as a celebration of all the success the coal mining communities were having, but as the years went on and mines closed, many people have lost their livelihoods. Now the gifts from the train are the only ones some kids get for Christmas. ►Soundtrack your Christmas: ----------------------- ►Photo album: Recording this video and our Christmas album ----------------------- ►Useful links: ►Social media: Go behind the scenes with @ThePetersenFamily ►This video: Lead vocal and banjo: @EllenHaygood Harmony vocal and guitar: @mattpetersen4000 Harmony vocal and mandolin: @JuliannePetersen Fiddle: @katiepetersen Dobro: Emmett Franz Bass: Karen Petersen Key moments: 0:01 Santa Train - fiddle 0:37 banjo 1:11 dobro 1:26 fiddle 2:30 Sleigh Ride - dobro 2:57 guitar 3:40 mandolin 3:53 bass 4:01 banjo 4:54 outro Turn on captions (CC) to see the lyrics on screen.
