Membership Perks

By Ken Buehler

Who wouldn’t want to be a railroad baron, a scion of industry, a James J. Hill, Harriman or Vanderbilt? They had some fun building the railroads that built our great nation. Hill called the Great Northern Railroad his “Great Adventure.” Now you can own a piece of the North Shore Scenic Railroad.

The railroad is run by the nonprofit Lake Superior Railroad Museum. As an LSRM member, you have a stake in what happens in the museum and on the tracks. There are several levels of membership and each one comes with different perks and incentives. Take FREE train rides, visit the museum as often as you like, have dinner in the diner and be the first to learn about museum events.

The best part of membership is receiving the museum’s quarterly publication, The JUNCTION. This full color magazine is loaded with interesting stories on museum happenings, railroad history, current railroad news and some of the finest trackside photography found anywhere. The best perk of all is knowing you’re supporting a world class railroad museum and helping to make it better.
