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