Duluth, Minnesota

This is Engine 225 of the Duluth Missabe & Iron Range Railroad.  It is HUGE, 16 feet tall and 127 ft. 8 in. long.  It holds 25 gallons of water and 26 tons of coal.  Between 1941 and 1961 is ran 694,360 miles and hawled 44 million tons of iron ore.

Here are 2 more pictures.

Along with Don looking over the caboose

We took a road winding up a mountain and stopped for this view of Lake Superior and the mouth of the St.Louis River.  This was the 4th of the 5 Great Lakes we saw.  Lake Superior has more cubit feet of water than all the other 4 combined. 

Here's a train, from the height we were from, it almost looked like a toy train.

The view was amazine.

Especially through the binoculars.
