Tony Dierckins and Jeff Lemke 224 pages hardcover
From 1870, the first time the whistle of
a Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad locomotive announced its
arrival along St. Louis Bay, to the demise of passenger service in 1970
and fifty years beyond through the mergers that created today’s giants,
Twin Ports Trains tells the stories of Duluth, Minnesota’s and Superior,
Wisconsin’s historic railroads: how they helped develop both cities,
worked hand in glove with the industries that drove the local economy,
served the public’s transportation needs, and literally reshaped the
lower St. Louis River.
