1880 Train Old West Shootout

Old West Shootout

Experience an Old West Shootout aboard the 1880 Train! For better or worse, conflicts between lawmen and bad guys were an important part of the story of the Wild West, and here’s your chance to experience a recreation of history and legend right on the spot. Sunday evening shootouts begin at the Hill City Station where there is danger in the air! Be on the lookout for the bad guys hiding along the rail line! It's a good thing the sheriff is in town!

All Old West Shootout riders must depart from Hill City at 5:00 pm. Shootout special event trains cannot be combined with Keystone departures or earlier departures. The shootout performance takes place alongside the middle of the stopped train about half-way through the 5:00 Hill City to Keystone leg. The train ride resumes once the performance is completed.
