- Pay a visit to northern Minnesota and enjoy some steam freight and passenger trains on the North Shore Scenic Railroad between Duluth and Two Harbors.
This area has a rich railroad history, and our special trains help relive it. We see Duluth and Northeastern 2-8-0 steam locomotive #28, which is also relettered in her former livery as DM&IR 332. You'll step back in the old times seeing the steam locomotive in action, pulling freight and passenger cars from the Lake Superior Railroad Museum collection.
Highlights:
*See Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range #332 pull a string of DM&IR ore cars, a sight not seen since the 1950's.
*#332 Pulling a passenger train
*Duluth & Northeastern #28 pulling a mixed freight and passenger train.
*DM&IR diesels on passenger
*You'll also see some ore boats in action as well as an ocean ship, railroad and lake shipping being intertwined
*#28 pulling the regular North Shore Scenic Railroad passenger train.
*Enjoy a ride in the locomotive cab.

Seeing steam locomotives pull freight in the modern era will always make me shed a tear
Steam will never die
Another amazing upload, Thank you!! Watching from 🇺🇲 Pahrump Nevada 🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good Theory Story.
I still hope they can make a show about the Alaska Railroad, it’s their 100th year and there are wonderful views from the train from Seward to Anchorage, to Wittier, and from Anchorage to Fairbanks.
Would LOVE to do the ARR!
Nice video
This is a great video, I got way too excited in your introduction where Duluth Missabe & Iron Range 332 was pulling that ore train. My family has a cabin up in Spooner WI and it used to have Soo 2719 operating out of it. She is now sitting in the Lake Superior Railway Museum. I love heading up to Duluth and Two Harbors and seeing all the rail history. If anyone is up there check it out and also head up to Hibbing MN. They moved that entire town just because they found Iron Ore under it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the program! Hopefully 2719 will run again someday in the future!
At about the 50 minute mark was that coal smoke fallout? My dad grew up beside a small railway junction, called Ormsby Junction where the trains did not run on a schedule, just whenever. His mother, my grandmother, would run like mad to get the washing in off the line when she heard the train coming otherwise the fresh wet laundry would be covered soot and ash!
Great video and appreciate all the explanatory details for people who are not familiar with the area like myself.
The heaven smoke was entirely for the benefit of the photographers. If you look at the regular tourist run, it doesn’t have nearly as much smoke.
This is a really cool film, of their Duluth & Northeastern 28 (A.K.A Duluth Missabe & Iron Range 332) back 6 years ago in 2017 at the North Shore Scenic Railroad.
Glad you liked it!
I've got the ore cars to match on my trainset! I've been waiting for this for months so happy it out! 🎉
Very nice video to see trains
I genuinely about screamed seeing the Arthur M. Anderson in this! My love of steam has crossed over with my interest in the Edmund Fitzgerald!
Now you know that locomotive 227 is not the only Yellowstone locomotive in existence.
And to think, a few short years later, the worlds largest steam locomotive would visit. The closest a big boy and a Yellowstone would ever come. And yes, the I35 here in Duluth is the same one that goes through Austin, Texas.
Maybe someday the 227 will find a benefactor to overhaul it. It’s only be outside a handful of days since 1959!
@@RailwayProductions I find it extremely unlikely. They weren't fast engines, they could move at a good clip but not fast enough for today's traffic. That's not to say it's impossible, nothing is in this regard, just takes a monumental amount of money. Big boy cost over 3 million bucks to restore so I'd wager the restoration of 227 would be of similar cost. Another issue is where on earth could it be run? Big boy has to take specially chosen routes just to accommodate its mammoth size.
The governor can find surplus money for the benefactors
Feel a bit sorry for this engine in general. It's a good one but it's also seen a lot of mechanical problems since its return to steam in 2017 which all started when it was fired up before its rebuild. There isn't a reason why it happened but it did. 332/28 is also said to be a rough rider and hated by crews. Hope it'll see more use in the future as it has 9 years of flue time currently as of 2023.
I hope everything will go fine with 332/28.
@@nathancorcoran5347 She's called 332 now, but yeah I agree. I've grown to like this engine as I've seen one of her cousins in person which ran on the Fillmore & Western between 2010 and 2019.
@@evanf1293 I have seen Fillmore & Western #14 too. Back in September 2020 a year before the F&W had ceased operations. It was sitting in the yard. I hope it will find a new home and possibly back in service too.
@@nathancorcoran5347 I do too. I feel fortunate enough that I got to see her twice in 2019 as I rode behind her during F&W's last railfair, and again during labor day weekend when she sported a boilertube whistle. Sure hope she steams again one day, but for right now, her future is unknown.
@@evanf1293 Yeah.
Awesome video 🚂👍🚃
I'm sorry I missed the premiere of this program yesterday. I forgot all about it.
I been at Minnesota
to bad they didn't show soo line 2719
2719 wasn’t running at the time of our visit.
I'm so very sorry, RailwayProductions, for missing the premiere of this program on Sunday. I completely forgot all about that.
Don’t Worry Andrew C. You will not missed the Premiere again., RailwayProductions and I are not worried about you
See you in Cab Ride from Kansas City to Chicago. In the town of Carrollton bounding East to Baring, Missouri
Ethan A. OK.
Why the jab at CN for not allowing them to wye using trackage rights? Guess donating the cars wasn’t enough to make everyone happy?
This program was made six YEARS before CN made the donation. And the trips organizers had been assured that the trackage would be available to wye the locomotive. Not really a jab at CN but merely stating what happened.
LOL that’s what I get for going down the rabbit hole of auto play videos on UA-cam…I assumed this was more recent. My apologies!
