Lake Superior Railroad MuseumDuluth's famous Lake Superior Railroad Museum is definitely one attraction you don't want to miss during your stay in the beautiful, scenic, and exciting city of Duluth, Minnesota.Located at 506 West Michigan Street in the St. Louis Country Heritage and Arts Center's Historic Union Depot, this spectacular museum is home to one of the largest and most extensive collections of historic railroad equipment and artifacts found in the U.S. Midwest. This impressive collection features more than 20 old-style steam, diesel, and electric locomotives, including the Mallet, one of the largest and most powerful steam locomotives in the world, as well as Minnesota's very first locomotive-named the William Crooks. Other pieces of Lake Superior Railroad Museum's stock worth noting include the world's oldest existing snowplow, a number of striking antique cabooses and freight cars, collections of working model trains, some beautiful antique dining car china, and even a railway post office. Many prefer to take advantage of the guided tours offered at the museum and surrounding area. If you decide to visit the museum in summer-which many tourists, visiting guests, and locals do-you can even enjoy a ride in a vintage electric trolley through Depot Square as well as a ride on Lake Superior Railroad Museum's own excursion line.
