Duluth Train Depot

Ever since Logan started showing interest in trains I have dreamed of taking him to the Depot in Duluth. I remember going there as a kid and just loving all the trains and I knew we couldn't be in Duluth and not take Logan.


The last train left Duluth's depot in 1969 and they converted it into a museum and refurbished trains. Some of the trains you can board which Logan thought was totally awesome. The girls were pretty impressed as well...



On a lot of the passenger cars there are historical displays that I would have loved to stop to read but little kids just want to be on trains, check it out and move onto the next one!



This was by far Logan's favorite train, it was a steam engine where you could see inside where the fire would burn, sit in the drivers seat, and the wheels even "chugged"!



Conductor Logan! His smile was from ear to ear!!



Not only are there real trains there are model trains too! Logan is in love with model trains. Don't get me wrong he still loves his Thomas, Chugginton, & Geo Trax but he thinks he needs model trains! I made the mistake of telling him that when he's bigger Grandma Pat has model trains for him so now he asks almost daily if he's big enough for model trains!


We were really under a time crunch, it had been a long week, and we were all beat so we didn't spend as much time as Logan would have wanted but we will visit again and do the Depot up right!!
