About Lake Superior Railroad Museum

The museum occupies the platforms and yard of a former 1892 union railroad station in downtown Duluth, now called the St. Louis County Depot. Visitors can view carefully restored engines and rolling stock that helped develop Minnesota and the nation. Rotating events and exhibits bring railroad history to life. The museum's stated purpose is to honor railroading's contributions to the region and to teach the public about its history. Train excursions on the North Shore Scenic Railroad, a museum affiliate, are sold separately.
