- Footage shot in 2011 of Black Hills Central 2-6-2T 104 in operation on the 1880 Train between Hill City and Keystone, South Dakota. I have uploaded several other videos featuring this locomotive, but this is the first to be filmed/uploaded in High Def. All the standard locations are shown - the climb out of Keystone, footage in Echo Canyon, the valley at Palmer's Gulch, Tin Mill Hill, etc....
(Note: the B&W intro is in Standard Def)
I love going to Hill City and riding the 1880 train. I practically live for that whistle.
I live for that 2-6-2's whistle. Whenever I go to Hill City or Keystone and the surrounding area, I can always hear it echoing through the hills. Kinda ghostly-sounding.
This was filmed on one afternoon - two runs between Hill City and Keystone.
beautiful old 2 6 2 saddletank :) she bears a strikeing resemblance to a vulcan 2 6 2 such as the one owned by laona and northern and then the vulcan 2 6 2 currently being restored by new hope valley railroad. great video. great angles.
I know that D&SNG has some CB&Q whistles on their locomotives. I wonder if the 1880 Train's 104 has a CB&Q whistle as well?
@jterry618 Could be, because it is fomer CB&Q trackage, isn't it?
will #103 be restored?
Over how many days did you film this?
