Lumberjack Steam Train

The train runs 1.3 miles (2.1 km) from the outskirts of Laona to the museum site.

The train consists of a steam locomotive, two steel passenger coaches, and three cabooses.

At 109,600 pounds, it is said to be the largest steam engine built by Vulcan that is still operating in the U.S.[2] The American Car and Foundry Company built the coach named the “Hamilton Roddis” in 1923 for the Soo Line Railroad.

The Barney and Smith Company built the coach named the “Otter Creek” in 1911, also for the Soo Line Railroad.

[1] The three passenger cabooses were purchased in 1965 and 1966 from the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway.
