Spectacular Train Ride in the Snow

If you happened to be in Hill City on Sunday, you may have noticed something a little out of the ordinary.

Engine #7 departed the Hill City station with three cars in tow. The train ran to oblivion, the engine switched to the opposite end, and they returned to station.

What was the reason for this special train ride? Country singer, Tracy Lawrence, was filming a video onboard the train.

Martin Fischer, President of High Five Entertainment in Nashville, said, "There's a lot of musical variety in Christmas in the Black Hills, but I believe the audience will really enjoy our on-location segments - Thompson Square on a sleigh ride near Deadwood and Tracy Lawrence on the 1880 Train in Hill City."

"Experiencing the Black Hills and meeting the people who live and work here were the highlights for the production team; the history, locations, and hospitality make the area a great place to shoot," he continued.

Christmas in the Black Hills stars Big & Rich, Thompson Square, Tracy Lawrence, Andy Gibson, The Farm, and Bradley Gaskins. The show premiers on Great American Country (GAC) on December 12th.
