The 1880 Train in Hill City is a must-visit destination for families looking for a fun and unique outing. Located in South Dakota, the train offers steam locomotive rides that have been in operation since 1957. We spoke with Nate Anderson, one of the operators, to learn more about what the business has to offer this summer.
Anderson shared that the 1880 Train aims to provide an authentic steam excursion ride for both locals and visitors. The experience 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.
