Duluth & Iron Range Railroad Depot |
| Description: |
With the rise of iron ore pellet (taconite) shipments from the ore docks in Two Harbors, MN, the Duluth and Iron Range Railroad built this large office with the lower left corner serving as a depot for the growing town. Shipments of ore began in 1884 but it wasn't until 1907 that the DIR corporate headquarters and depot were established in this building. |

| Description: |
Unfortunately, passenger service to the depot ended in 1961 and freight service to the depot ended in the 1980's. The building was donated to the Lake County and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Today the lower portion of the building houses the original depot that serves the North Shore Scenic Railroad tourist excursions and the Lake County Historical Museum. |

to the west of the depot is a display area of early railroading items (in another album). The double track of the original DIR line ends just belong the depot. |

CN ROW West |
| Description: |
This is a view toward the west of the current Canadian National/North Schore Scenic RR ROW. Around the curve leads into the CN iron ore that feeds the taconite to the Two Harbors loading docks. That was a fairly restricted area so no photos were taken of it. |
