Gunflint & Lake Superior Railroad MP 0.7-1

30 Apr

The Gunflint and Lake Superior Railroad was a logging line operated by the Pigeon River Lumber Company from 1902 to 1909. It connected to the Canadian Northern Railway Duluth Extension/North Lake Subdivision (ex-Port Arthur, Duluth and Western Railway) at Milepost 79. It travelled six miles from the Ontario side of Gunflint Lake into Minnesota passing Crab and Whisker Lakes to near Topper Lake.

This video covers the area where the railroad crosses a small creek beside Gunflint Lake with corduroyed logs and bridge cribs that are still visible as well as a short section to the southwest. *Please note that removing artifacts from federal lands is prohibited by law.

Active, 1902-1909.
