All aboard for train excursions on the North Shore Scenic Railroad. History comes alive on the Lakefront line during the summer and autumn seasons.  Trains depart the historic Duluth Union Depot for a trip through downtown Duluth, Canal Park, along the shore of Lake Superior and deep into the majestic north woods. Fully narrated tours tell the history of Duluth, the harbor, and the stories of the railroads that built northern Minnesota and Wisconsin.

A limited number of excursions are still operating for the remainder of October. Then there will be no excursions until late November, when the Christmas City Express begins.

Travel to the Pumpkin Patch, October 17-20th (MN’s MEA Break) for 4 days only aboard The Great Pumpkin Train. Three trains daily depart for the pumpkin patch, and inside the Lake Superior Railroad Museum, tons more fun continues. Learn more and get tickets here.
