"Tue 9/28/2010 9:54 AM The Oct 1-2-3, 2010 excursion over
the Black Hills Central RR has been canceled. Gus EC"
The Rocky Mountain Division and the Black Hills Central have teamed up again
for a 3 day excursion. October 1 - 2 - 3, 2010. The Black Hills Central, a tiny
remnant of the extensive railroading that went on there in South Dakota during
some booming days. 4-4-0's paced themselves up the 4-6% grade of Tin Mill Hill
out of Hill City on the way to Oblivion.
So operators, beware. How often can we do a 4-6% grade on most motorcar
excursions?
This is the best little railroad for a evening trip too. Curves, hardwood and
pine forests and a twisty rural country road that we must cross several times.
This railroad demands safety at all crossing!
The railroad in Oct will be running just one train per day.
Scheduling of runs will be done as soon as we hit a minimum of 15 motorcars.
Cost of excursion will be $60.00. With an addition of $8.00 for the Saturday
night BBQ. Which has always been fun item on this excursion too.
Another change this year will be a BHCRR sponsored raffle for all ride
participants on Saturday AM. Prizes will include a pair of train tickets and
other memorabilia from the 1880 TRAIN.
Meals and lodging are on your own other than the BBQ on Saturday.
Holiday Inn Express is right next to the railroad within walking distance. And
many restaurants as well. And there are many campsites around Hill City.
Set-on would be at the Hill City BHCRR yards near the engine shops, Oct 1, 2010.
So come join us and enjoy the Black Hills in October!
EC for this event is Gus Mocilac.
