An interesting combination of locomotives,
passenger, freight, and maintenance cars have
called Hill City home since
the 1950s, and many of them are still here
for you to enjoy.
In May of 1999 we purchased and started
restoration on a 1928 Baldwin 2-6-6-2 T
Mallet!
This engine has not
run in 40-50 years…
We have it running again!
The engine was built originally for the
Weyhauser Lumber Company in Washington State.
It was then sold to Rayonier Lumber Company,
then to the Heber Valley Railroad, then
finally to the state of Nevada. We purchased
this engine because it has 37,500 lbs. of
tractive effort. Our other engines have
23,000 lbs.
Harney Canyon,
Our Newest Car!
Harney Canyon was the first siding south
of Hill City, South Dakota on the HighLine.
