The main railroad lines that intersected Hill City were the [[Burlington Northern]] Line (also called the High Line), previously the Grand Island and Wyoming Central, operated by the [[Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad]] Company; and the Black Hills Central Line, a spur that extended from Hill City to Keystone. The High Line extended from [[Edgemont, South Dakota|Edgemont]] north through Hill City and terminated in Deadwood. This line reached Hill City in 1893, and the Black Hills Central Line was extended and reached Keystone on January 20, 1900.<ref name="keyhist"/> [[Narrow gauge]] trolley cars were operated at 45-minute intervals during the day on the High Line. The High Line discontinued its passenger service in 1949 and was fully abandoned in 1983. It is now the [[George S. Mickelson Trail]], after being converted to a bike trail during the 1990s.

In 1957, the [[Black Hills Central Railroad]], also known locally as the 1880 Train, opened a tourist passenger train on the Black Hills Central Line. In 1972, a flood destroyed the last mile of the Burlington Northern and Black Hills Central Lines that extended from Hill City to Keystone. This final mile was restored in 2001. The Black Hills Central Railroad restores era-style locomotives and train cars. It has been featured on television shows such as the ''[[Gunsmoke]]'' episode "Snow Train", ''[[General Hospital]]'', and the TNT mini-series ''[[Into the West (TV miniseries)|Into the West]]''. The railroad also made an appearance in the movie ''Orphan Train''.<ref>{{cite web| title =Railroad History of the Black Hills| publisher =Roosevelt Inn| year =1999| url =http://www.rosyinn.com/5600a04.htm| access-date =2007-12-14| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20070929222343/http://www.rosyinn.com/5600a04.htm| archive-date =2007-09-29| url-status =dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | last =Mills | first =Rick | title =A Time Line of Black Hills Railroads | work =Black Hills Visitor Magazine | url =http://www.blackhillsvisitor.com/main.asp?id=14&cat_id=30175&open_id=71 | access-date =2007-12-14 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| title =Black Hills 1880 Central Railroad Train| work =ALLBlackHills.com| publisher =Vertical Media| url =http://www.allblackhills.com/attractions/black_hills_1880_central_railroad_train.php| access-date =2007-12-14| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20080101145155/http://www.allblackhills.com/attractions/black_hills_1880_central_railroad_train.php| archive-date =2008-01-01| url-status =dead}}</ref>
