December Holiday Express Dates Still Available

Last Friday and Saturday was the kick off weekend for the Holiday Express. We had perfect weather, and I think everyone, young and old alike, had a great time.

If you didn't get a chance to ride last weekend, there are still three more Holiday Express dates to choose from. We'll be headed for the North Pole again on December 12th, 19th, and 23rd. We have two departure times on all three dates. The Holiday Express will go at 4:15 pm and again at 6:00 pm.

Call now to reserve your tickets as times are filling up. The office phone number is 605-574-2222. Reservations can also be made at www.1880train.com.

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are You Listnin'?

October brought us early snows, but as far as November went, we felt like we were back in August!

Finally, there's the white stuff on the ground and it's perfect timing because today we begin the task of decorating for the Christmas season. It will be a winter wonderland at the train this year. We've got blue lights and snowflakes abound!

2009's flying by. Our Holiday Express will be upon us before we know it. If you have family traveling to the Black Hills for this Thanksgiving, the Holiday Express is the perfect activity. Our first weekend is Friday the 27th and Saturday the 28th of November. The train will be headed to the North Pole at both 4:15 pm and 6:00 pm. Give us a call at 605-574-2222.

Spook-tacular

The snow in the Hill City area is almost gone, only a few plowed piles in the ditch are hanging on. It finally feels like Halloween!

The Fright Train will be pulling out of station this year on the 31st. There's a couple new scares in store along with a couple favorites. We're confident our passengers are in for a hauntingly good time.

We've got some great shots from last year's Fright Train.
