The Prairie Village, Herman and Milwaukee Railroad is a heritage railroad in Prairie Village, South Dakota, which is next to Lake Herman; it operates from May to September.[1] The railroad uses former Milwaukee Road trackage as its 2-mile line, and it operates one of the few remaining church railroad cars, the Emmanuel; it is also staffed entirely by volunteers. They operate two diesel engines, but have also set up steam engines for events.[2] [3] [4] [5]
