1880 Train
1880 Train

Experience travel the way it was done in the 19th century on this completely restored authentic steam engine train as you explore. This steam engine will give you the full effect with its soul-stirring whistle, smooth, powerful ride and scenery that you cannot duplicate anywhere else. You will wind your way among the hills between Hill City and Keystone and back again. If you are really looking for the full experience, buy your lunch the way they did back in the "good ole days" in a box lunch. Additionally, whether you're visiting Hill City or Keystone during your time in the Mount Rushmore Area, the 1880 Train departs from both making it a convenient activity for all area travelers.

1880 Train Ride

On this tour, you'll be able to ride in a beautifully restored 19th century train to one of the United States' most majestic sights!

Great fun.

Steam Engine Relaxation
I did the Mount Rushmore tour for fourth of July in 2006. I took the 1880 train ride tour and I thought it was relaxing and fun. I went alone on my travel around the country, so it was easier to meet many new people. I had a good experience and was happy to see the mountains, and the counrtyside, and the places where movies were made....and even the past little house of ill reput on the tour. The greenery was lovely, and the wild life, though not plentiful, was enough to satisfy me. I only wish I had my Grandchildren with me for this. Children will like it, and it is a nice little shopping spree at the end. They give you plenty of time to return to the train.
