And, in rural towns like Cactus (which Waylon Jennings described as a “wide place in the road”), many workers were getting driven back and forth (chạy đi chạy lại) to plants in packed vans.

Holtzclaw grew up in Nora, Virginia. “It’s a little wide place in the road, but it was the most wonderful childhood place it could be to live,” Holtzclaw said. One of nine siblings (anh chị em), Holtzclaw said her family moved to Nora when she was five. That year marked her first visit to the Santa Train as it made a short stop there. She kept going each year until she married and left home. But her memories of the Santa Train didn’t fade (phai nhạt).

“There were actually only two stores here when I was growing up,” Beene said. “Now there’s really not a store downtown. Downtown is a misnomer (nhầm tên), sorta, ’cause all it is really is a wide place in the road.”
