We were on the train that was full of children so the noise level was extremely high and we could never hear any of the history that was part of the trip. We talked to them afterward, but they were just too bad for you guys and go away. I would have suggested that there was one car that was...

This is a cool train, and the scenery was nice (not Silverton, Colorado though - as I agree with another reviewer) but the history here is what could be capitalized on and it wasn't.

Enjoyed the views from Hill City to Keystone. We saw deer and woodchucks! Railcar was quite comfortable but it was difficult to hear some narration over the trains whistle and noise. A good way to spend a couple of hours.

We enjoyed our train ride, BUT, we were expecting more. In Silverton, Colorado (we live nearby), we have a train ride which will knock you back on your heels!

We have taken this trip several times and each time it has been fun and relaxing. This is a great attraction when you are traveling with children and older adults. The train is clean and comfortable. The scenery is delightful. You can sit and relax and have your worries and your achy feet melt away.
