This was on the Black Hills list and I thought some here might be
interested.

ADAMS MUSEUM & HOUSE TO HOST
BOOK SIGNING AND PRESENTATION ON BLACK HILLS RAILROADS
DEADWOOD, SD ? Local author and railroad enthusiast Rick Mills will show
a video clip from Black Hills Railroads: Then and Now, a documentary he
wrote the script for, and sign copies of his new book 125 Years of Black
Hills Railroading on Saturday, October 16, 2004, from 2-4 p.m. at
Deadwood City Hall. The Adams Museum & House will host the event.
This look at area railroading combines not only the nuts and
bolts of the railroads and operations from the first locomotive in the
area (1879) to current-day, but it also gives a perspective on how the
Hills and the railroads evolved together. ?I wish I could explain why I
have had a lifelong interest in trains, but I do know that it has always
been a part of me,? said Mills. ?The influences of the railroad on the
Black Hills, the Northern Plains, and the American experience cannot be
overstated. The railroads were the catalyst for westward expansion, and
for the development of the cities, the transportation routes, and other
forms of commerce in the country that we know today. Good or bad,
depending on a person's own heritage and experiences, the railroads and
their employees have
played a pivotal role in this region and the country.?
Deadwood City Hall is located at 102 Sherman St. The
presentation is open to the public, free of charge and wheelchair
accessible. For more information, call 605-578-3724.
The event is sponsored by: the Deadwood Historic
Preservation Commission, Cadillac Jack?s Gaming, Deadwood Gulch Resort &
Gaming, Gold Dust/Holiday Inn Express and Midnight Star.
A PHOTO OF ?125 YEARS OF BLACK HILLS RAILROADING? IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
