Don's Rail Photos
Duluth & Northeastern RR
The D&NE was incorporated in 1898 and operated a common carrier railroad in conjunction with the logging operations of the Northwest Paper Co. At one time they ran all the way to Hornby which was 58 miles north. In recent years they ran only a few miles in the Cloquet area. They apparently are limited to local switching at Cloquet at this time. Here are photos of some of their equipment.
