TWO HARBORS TURN: STEAM POWERED

Experience the power of steam, with historic locomotive #332 leading the charge while you will ride behind this engine to the beautiful town of Two Harbors. The train stays in town for about 2 hours while you have a chance to shop, have lunch, and experience some of the local attractions. The locomotive is also serviced here, and you can visit the crew while they prepare for the return trip.

This is a full day excursion, and as you step off the return train around 4:30pm in Duluth, you'll reflect on the adventure you have had and an experience you will never forget.

Entrance to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum is included with your ticket prior to departure. Doors open at 9am, so there is limited time for the museum. If you want to come the days before, or after, museum passes can be purchased at 50% off with your train tickets.

The Two Harbors train excursion is subject to delays to due Canadian National Railway (CN) traffic. Please consider this when making plans for after the train ride. Delays are rare, but can be an hour or more. Normal return time to the Duluth Depot is about 4:30pm, but ranges from 4pm-5pm, and very rarely, even later.

This trip is not wheelchair accessible due to the historic nature of the railroad equipment. Pets are not allowed. Ages 2 and under are free and do not need a ticket. All tickets are round-trip.

A $2.00 Legacy Fee is a part of your ticket price. The funds collected go to a designated account for the preservation and future rebuilding of steam locomotive DM&IR #332 (our current engine) and SOO Line #2719 our future operating steam engine. Thank You!

Children ages 2 and under are free and do not need tickets for coach.
