Saturday, July 12 2025:
Passengers eagerly awaited the arrival of the 1880s train at Keystone, SD.



This is a steam-powered train. Engineers added water and oiled the workings.



Then the conductor announced, "All Aboard."





One train engineer answered questions while a conductor colleted tickets.



Popcorn was sold because it is popular on this route, especially with young ladies.



The train traved though stunning terrain.



Lots to see includingthe locals.











A fun trip for everyone to Hill City and back in three hours.

Quote of the day:    This is a must-do in the Black Hills.  Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story>
