A steam locomotive pushes through a narrow rock cut in the Black Hills of South Dakota, its plume of smoke drifting back over the ridgeline. Railroads threaded the Hills from the 1870s onward, hauling timber, mining supplies and ore out of country where the grades were steep and the curves tight. Scenes like this one show how engineers carved passes through granite and pine to keep trains moving, and how the rail line became a way for visitors to reach the region's scenic canyons.
