By now all of Hill City has heard the whistle blow as the 1880 Train chugs in and out of town on its daily routes. What you may not have heard is that last summer Hill City’s very own Taylor Edwards became what is believed to be the youngest conductor in the history of the 1880 Train at the age of 21.
Growing up Edwards recalled playing on the elementary school playground and watching the train go by in the afternoons. Like many boys that age, he was interested in all things trains, especially Thomas the Tank Engine. Thus, seeing a real one was enamoring.
