点评:We bought first class tickets in advance for back to back times. We left Hill City for Keystone at 9 am and were back to our car at the Hill City station about 2 hours and 15 minutes later. There was just enough time at Keystone to use the restroom.
This route goes along one of the steepest train grades in the United States along Tin Mill Toad and the narration (especially between Hill City and Keystone) provides interesting insight and helpful historical context. We found the cost of the first class tickets , although not cheap, to be tremendously worthwhile.
Feel free to decline the on train portraits if you don’t want 1 taken. We rarely do photos together so although expensive, having a nice photo of the experience was worthwhile to me.
They served warm popcorn on our trip: nice treat!
The available guidebook was a worthwhile read/purchase for us.
We had a derailment at the very start of a steam engine ride in Abeline in 2023 so it was an extra treat to get to take a full steam train ride today!
翻译:我们提前购买了连续两趟行程的一等座车票。上午9点我们从希尔城出发前往基斯通,大约2小时15分钟后便回到了希尔城车站的车旁。在基斯通停留的时间仅够我们去趟洗手间。
这条线路沿着美国最陡峭的铁路坡道之一延伸,沿途的讲解(尤其是希尔城至基斯通这一段)不仅生动有趣,还提供了很有价值的历史背景信息。我们发现,虽然头等舱机票价格不菲,但绝对物有所值。
如果您不想拍摄列车上的合影,完全可以拒绝。我们平时很少一起拍照,因此尽管费用较高,能留下一张记录这次经历的美好照片对我来说还是非常值得的。
旅途中有热乎乎的爆米花供应:真是惬意的享受啊!
对我们而言,附带的旅游指南也值得一读/购买。2023年,我们在阿比林的蒸汽火车体验项目刚开始时就发生了脱轨事故,所以今天能够完整地体验一次蒸汽火车之旅真是额外的惊喜啊!
