About North Shore Scenic Railroad

The Lakefront Line of the North Shore Scenic Railroad was built in 1886 to haul freight and passengers to the developing region. More than a century later, the North Shore Scenic Railroad operates excursion trains along the same path, offering residents and tourists alike a taste of old-fashioned transportation and unspoiled natural splendor. Train excursions hug the shoreline of Lake Superior for a part of the route, then lead into the majestic north woods. Riders travel along the tracks in vintage train cars during daily tours held throughout the spring, summer, and fall, as well as special excursions such as elegant dinner train trips and the annual fall beer-tasting train.
