The 1880 Train in Hill City is a must-visit local business for those looking for a unique and fun outing with their family. Operating since 1957, this steam locomotive ride has become a popular choice among both locals and visitors alike. We had the opportunity to speak with Nate Anderson, one of the operators, to learn more about what the business has to offer this summer.
According to Anderson, the 1880 Train aims to provide an authentic steam excursion ride that allows passengers to learn about the history of the Black Hills while enjoying a relaxing journey on an old-fashioned mode of transportation. The train’s typical route offers a one-hour leg between Hill City and Keystone, giving passengers the opportunity to explore both towns.
In addition to its regular rides, the 1880 Train hosts themed events throughout the summer. One popular event is the old west shootout held every Sunday night in June and July, where cowboys put on a performance alongside the train. As fall approaches, the train shifts its focus to events like the Wine Express, which partners with local wineries to offer onboard refreshments and snacks ideal for a date night or social gathering.
If you’re looking for a unique family outing or a special date night experience, look no further than the 1880 Train. For more information on their schedule and to book your ride starting May 11st, visit their website today!
