About Lake Superior Railroad Museum

The Lake Superior Railroad Museum (reporting mark LSRX) is a railroad museum in Duluth, Minnesota, United States.

Opened in 1973, the museum focuses on railroading in the Lake Superior region. It is housed in the restored St. Louis County Depot.

The museum also operates the North Shore Scenic Railroad, which runs excursion trains from Memorial Day through mid-October using historic rail equipment from the museum collection.

The collection includes the William Crooks, which became the first locomotive to operate in the state of Minnesota in 1861, and Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway Number 227, a 2-8-8-4 "Yellowstone" locomotive that was among the largest steam engines to operate.
