Gunflint & Lake Superior Railroad MP 0.5-0.7

29 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 300 metre section from south of the international crossing to a creek crossing, and includes corduroyed logs and rock cuts on Gunflint Lake.

Active, 1902-1909.

      Interesting. I guessing it was the Port Arthur, Duluth and Western, or Pee Dee, rather than this line as it did not carry any passengers.
