| The "1880s Train" is a favorite of visitors
to the Black Hills in South Dakota. Preservation efforts were directed at
rescuing three old engines that now pull passengers along a scenic ride
between Hill City (where the engines are housed) and Keystone. The train,
officially the Black Hills Central Railroad, had its first run in 1957 with
Baldwin Locomotive number 69, a 2-8-0 engine, the Klondike Casey. That
engine was later sold and has recently been restored. It is now running at
its original home, the White Pass and Yukon Railway in Skagway, Alaska. (www.wpyr.com).
There are four engines now running at the 1880's train, my favorites are
the 7, the 104 and the 110. |

"Making time" can have two meanings: getting things done quickly as in
speeding down the highway or railway, or finding the time or taking the time
to do something, usually something special. Here the engineer, normally
concerned about keeping on or ahead of schedule by "making time" down the
tracks, stops and interrupts his normal schedule for something special or
perhaps even more important, a visit with a friend. |
