Celebrate National Train Day on Saturday

There is a special celebration happening on Saturday at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. It’s National Train Day from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The event will celebrate when Leland Stanford drove in the Golden Spike that symbolized the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad 155 years ago.

The Museum, along with the North Shore Scenic Railroad will tell historic stories of the men and women who built the railroads that built our great nation. They’ll focus on the important role that railroads play every day keeping America strong.
