Keystone SD, 1880 Train Ride, Sept 2007


Station for 1880 railroad in Keystone SD. RR trip is to Hill City and back.

The 1880 TRAIN (Black Hills Central Railroad) is interesting. Located near Mt. Rushmore National Monument and Crazy Horse Memorial, the locomotive offers a western experience like no other. Hear the bellow of the engine and the whine of the whistle as it winds it's way through the scenic hills between Hill City and Keystone, and back again. Train trip takes approximately 2 hours.
