Duluth and Northern Minnesota No. 14

Built by Baldwin Locomotive works in 1913, D&NM Railway No. 14 represents the last remaining locomotive used on Minnesota’s once extensive system of logging railroads. The locomotive hauled log trains into Knife River, 20 miles north of Duluth, until 1919 on the Duluth and Northern Minnesota Railway Company. The railroad served a large region along a 99-mile line that reached almost to Grand Marais. Logs were brought down and loaded onto boats at Knife River. When Alger-Smith Lumber company closed down its operations including the D&NW Railway, the locomotive, along with companion locomotive No. 13, was sold to the ore hauling Lake Superior and Ishpeming Railroad at Marquette, Michigan, serving that railroad until 1959. Shortly afterwards, it was sold to the Inland Stone Division of Inland Steel located by Gulliver, Michigan, retaining the same number under three owners. No. 14 is of the Mikado type and weighs 90 tons, 150 tons with tender loaded. Restored to operation in 1992, its most noteworthy exploit to date was an appearance in the Walt Disney's film Iron Will, made in the Duluth area in 1993.
