[CBQ] Re: TZ cars for sale at Hill City

["Mark" <markg99051@aol.com>]

I was in Hill City last summer. There is a tourist train there, the Black Hills 
Central RR, and a small rail museum, so I assume these cars were part of that 
museum. The town was served by the CB&Q and I thought Hill City was actually 
named after James Hill, but I can't find anything to substantiate that, so 
imagine I am mis-remembering.
