1880 Train Ride thru the Black Hills

#steamengine #blackhills #southdakota
The 1880 train ride is a two-hour, narrated 20-mile round trip in the Black Hills of South Dakota between Hill City and Keystone. Passengers view mountain vistas, steep granite sphires, mining encampments and participate in good old-fashioned fun. Trains follow the original route of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad laid down in the late 1880s to service the mines and mills between Hill City and Keystone. The Black Hills Central Railroad is the oldest continuously operating tour railroad in the nation and operates three steam and two diesel engines throughout the season.

Very Cool! Imagining Custer and the 7th Cav out bivouacked in the woods. This, I understand, is sacred ground to various Lakota and Cheyenne groups. Thanks Jack!
