Dining - North Shore Scenic Railroad

AND…. Speaking of trains… a group of us from Hope UMC, are taking a train excursion up the shore tonight. It will be on the Dinner Car, and it will be an elegant meal, reminiscing the dining cars of railroad passenger trains of the past. We are looking forward to a fancy meal, in a fancy dining car and a scenic ride along Lake Superior. We thought we'd see colored leaves, but think it's a bit early, they haven't really turned color yet. (I’ll take photos and post them later). Some people were expressing that they would like to take this trip, so I put the trip together. The price is a bit steep, so our group will be small. However, as our pastor kept telling me, when I was concerned that no one would sign up for it due to the price, “But, Linda, you get this wonderful meal, AND you get the TRAIN RIDE TOO!!! Those of us that signed up for it, are looking forward to it. It will be fun. I was never on a train until after I was in my late 20’s! I will enjoy it.

Here's some information taken from The Scenic Railroad Website about scheduled train trips that are available this fall (The dining train dates weren't listed, so I'm guessing they are sold out).

In September we will be running our Fall Colors train to Two Harbors on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are required and the cost will be $25 for diesel runs and $30 a ticket plus a $3 Heritage Fund charge for steam. It's going to be a great season for fall colors this year because of the drought, an upside to the weather we've been having. The steam engine we're going to run is a 1923 ALCO and hasn't been operational for three years so this is going to be quite an event! Trains leave at 10:30AM and return at 4:00PM the same day.

Schedule of Steam Rides
September 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 & 29
October 5 & 6
Call the Scenic Railroad for reservations and/or more information
