Lake Superior Railroad Museum

The Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth, Minnesota is housed in the Historic Union Depot which was constructed in 1892. The museum has 6 tracks inside the building showcasing an extensive collection of locomotives and train cars. Along with the trains on display inside the museum is Depot Square, a recreation of Duluth's downtown in 1910. The mission and exhibit principals are to provide, through permanent and changing exhibits, an insight into the history of the region and to develop an understanding and appreciation of railroading. That is done through an extensive collection of rolling stock, railroad archives, objects, books, and photographs. The images contributed to the Minnesota Digital Library show all aspects of railroading in the region, and helps to show the significance of railroading in the past and the present.
