Who's ready for the first train out of Keystone? These girls are!
The nice thing about riding the Black Hills Central Railroad historic train from Keystone to Hill City at 8:45 a.m. is that we practically had the train to ourselves.
It was a very scenic ride up to Hill City, with lots of trees, rocks and streams. Unfortunately, the train makes a lot of noise, which scared away most of the wildlife. We only saw a couple of brave groundhogs and one lone deer.
The early train from Keystone to Hill City is a diesel, but the locomotive for our return trip to Keystone was a steam engine. The girls liked listening to it huff and chuff as it made its way up and down the mountain.
It was a very relaxing, fun morning riding the rails. And Julia got a very unique souvenir, especially for someone living on the east coast.
