Well Here is one of the new stars on the block. The 1880 train an actual steam train it runs between Hill City where its yards are and Keystone S.D. which is about 11 miles away. Then after walking around Keystone for the day you can hop back on and ride back to Hill City and retrieve your car.

Tender With Banner on the Way!!


Here is the Passanger Couch loaded on one trailer .


This is the tender when it was loaded.


This is the engine that pulls the tender that pulls the Couch.

Great pictures! The truck that is hauling it looks like a train all by itself! It is very long.

dirtpusher Loc: tulsa oklahoma

wonder how many pictures were taken of it goin down the road

Rbo36 Loc: S. W. Michigan

Would love to have seen a panorame of the whole rig.

I would have liked to have done just that but with out an extra battery I was kind of out of luck! Things like that kind of happen every time one wants to take the one great picture. I still love the old manual camera but this was early day of digital for me.

I went back through the pictures and I guess I was to busy watching the loco that I never got a shot of the Tractor and Trailer I think it was about 110 feet long and maybe 10 axles. on the trailer.

It was only loaned to the company that was making the movie. Now I am going to put my neck on the rails and say that it was a Disney film that was being shot in Santa Fe New Mexico and this would have been about 7 years ago these shots were taken 2-2-05 so that may tell you what movie shot on a moving train it may have been.

Steam Locomotive #7


Black Hills Central Railroad Engine #7 is a 2-6-2 with tender built by Baldwin Locomotive Works for the Ozan-Graysonia Lumber Company in 1919. The locomotive was sold to and operated by the Caddo and Choctaw Railroad several years later. The "Seven" was sold to the Prescott and Northwestern in Northern Arkansas in 1938, and was acquired by the Black Hills Central Railroad in 1962.

Well there I go getting more than I bargained for I am not to much up on the Baldwin but kind of keep up on the Shays also another Logging Loco. Thanks for the Info and I am sure that others that take a look at what is up there will be happy for the extended info.

no extra battery? hmmmpp

Cool that you were there at the right place and time to get the pics you got. Have a situation like this getting ready to happen about 30 miles from here, hoping that I make it for loading day. With an extra battery.
