About the Book

A comprehensive illustrated history of this northern line. One of the most fascinating mainline railroads in North America is a gem tucked away in scenic Northeastern Minnesota: the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range Railroad. Tasked with hauling taconite pellets and ore from the region's iron mines to the ports of Lake Superior, the DM&IR is a cherished link to the region's past. This illustrated history traces the road's late-nineteenth century origins in the Duluth & Iron Range and the Duluth, Missabe & Northern railroads. The book's primary focus, however, is on the period from 1937 - the year those two roads merged under U.S. Steel - to today and the road's current ownership by Canadian National. Readers will witness the road's legendary early steam power, the evolution of its unique mining operations, its switch to diesel power in the 1950s, and its modern fleet and operations.

About the Author :

Michigan" Railfan", "March/April 2007"While other books have been prepared on the contemporary DM & IR, this well-balanced presentation is a cut above." Railroad History", "Fall/Winter 2006"Considering its modest price, this book is worth acquiring if only for the gorgeous color pictures of latter-day Missabe operations before Canadian National acquired the property in 2004." The "Lexington" Quarterly, "March 2006 (circ. unavailable)"John Leopard's new book is a very fitting tribute to the legacy and traditions of the DM & IR Railway and the high standards under which it was operated and maintained. Overall, this book is a fine send-off to one of the most admired of the smaller railways of the U.S." Michigan" Railfan," "March/April 2007 " While other books have been prepared on the contemporary DM & IR, this well-balanced presentation is a cut above."
