The Lake Superior and Mississippi Railroad Company (LS&M) is incorporated as a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) Company. We are an all volunteer passenger railroad dedicated to the preservation of railroad history and restoration of railroad artifacts. The original LS&M built the first railroad into Duluth in the 1870's. The current LS&M reserves 5.2 miles of the this original railroad right-of-way into Duluth. The LS&M operates vintage railroad equipment to let the passenger experience rail transportation as it was in the early to middle 19th century. The LS&M is committed to providing the public with a historical and educational railroad experience. All revenues generated from passenger fares and donations are used for restoration, maintenance and operation.
