Minnesota - Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad

Duluth, MN - The original Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad was incorporated in 1863 and began building the first railroad linking the Twin Cities and Duluth. The Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad existed until 1877, when it was purchased by the St, Paul and Duluth and later absorbed into the Northern Pacific System.

The present Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad was incorporated in 1981 by a group of volunteers from the Lake Superior Transportation Club, taking the name of Duluth's first railroad and using a portion of the original track along the scenic St. Louis River.
