railroading in superior, Wisconsin by jeff lemke

Although Superior was an industrial force in its own right (once the largest industrial complex within the State of Wisconsin) it was overshadowed by Duluth almost from the beginning. Join me as I explore many parts of Superior, some of which were well known, while others were lost to time. One advantage that Superior enjoyed over Duluth was the vast area of flat land that stretched to the south of St. Louis Bay. Here, many railroads built large, relaxed rail facilities that simply would not fit on the Duluth side of the harbor.
