The Black Hills Central Railroad is a heritage railroad that operates in South Dakota, United States.

It currently operates the 1880 Train on the former Keystone Branch of the Burlington Northern Railroad (BN) between Hill City, South Dakota and Keystone, South Dakota. This railroad line was originally built by the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad as a mining railroad for gold in the Black Hills. It reached Keystone on January 20, 1900 and was later used to haul equipment for carving nearby Mount Rushmore.[1]

In 1957, William Heckman and Robert Freer started the Black Hills Central Railroad which began operating a tourist passenger excursion train service on this line.[2] In 1972, the Black Hills flood destroyed the last mile of the Burlington Northern/Black Hills Central line in Keystone, which was later restored in 2001.[3]

The Black Hills Central Railroad restores early twentieth century-era locomotives and train cars and has been featured on television shows such as the Gunsmoke episode "Snow Train", General Hospital, and the TNT mini-series, Into the West. It also appeared in the movie Orphan Train.

Trains operate between early May and early October over the scenic {{convert|10|mi|km|sing=on}} line.

Preserved equipment

The BHCR operates rare, well-preserved, and operational steam locomotives:

  • # 7, Baldwin 2-6-2, built 1919 as P&NW #7 [4].
  • #103, Baldwin 2-6-2T, built 1922 as Silver Falls Timber Company (S.F.T.Co.) #103 before being sold to the BHCR in 1965 [5].
  • #104, Baldwin 2-6-2T tank locomotive (pictured), built 1926 as S.F.T.Co. #104 before being sold to the BHCR in 1965 [6].
  • #110, Baldwin 2-6-6-2T, built 1928 as Weyerhauser Timber Company #110 [7].

The Black Hills Central Railroad also has two diesel locomotives on its engine roster:

  • #6657, Whitcomb 80 Tonner, built 1943 as US Army #7379 [9].
