NSSR GP9 #245 - North Shore Scenic RR |
Description: |
Originally built for the Northern Pacific, it bounced through the BN and ILSX roster before reaching the North Shore Scenic RR. Although a spectacular sight still in its ILSX colors, the plan is to return it to its NP paint scheme in the future. |

GN Coach #1115, "Liz Prebich" |
Description: |
Originally built by ACF for the Great Northern in 1950, the 60 seat coach served the GN on its "International" streamliner service. Later this car and its sister #116 served as part of the BN business car fleet. When the Lake Superior RR Museum purchased the car, it was restored to the GN paint scheme and labeled "Liz Prebich" after the late St Louis County commissioner who heavily supported the museum and tourist train. |

The car was donated by a private source to the Lake Superior RR Museum and is shared with the North Shore Scenic RR today. |
