Monday, January 6,
2020: Mark and Paula traveled to Duluth, MN, and
stopped at the Lake Superior
Railroad Museum. It was still decorated for the holidays. |
 |
|
Inside one of the largest steam engines ever built. This
one ran between Minnesota's iron range and Duluth. It ran 24/7 pulling iron ore to the ship docks during World War II. 70% of our nation's iron ore comes through Duluth. |
 |
|
Trains hauled mail for 100 years in cars like this where it was
storted for delivery down the line. |
 |
|
Let's climb aboard and see what it is like. |
 |
|
Fine dining here was as good or better as anywhere else. |
 |
|
Pulling into town, a visitor might find stores like these in the
early 1900s. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Then there were model trains in the museum. This is a
"trains" place. |
 |
|
Later, looking toward the Aerial Bridge from the north shore of
Lake Superior. |
 |
Quote of the day:
 Duluth
is a city I love. Mark
