All Aboard!
South Dakota photographer John C.H. Grabill’s 1891 image of a Burlington and Missouri River Railroad passenger train on Horseshoe Curve near Custer City perfectly frames the Harney Range in the background. Today, visitors to the Black Hills can book a ride on the 1880 Train of the Black Hills Central Railroad, with stations in Hill City and Keystone. The train follows the original line of the former subsidiary of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.
