The Missabe Railroad Historical Society is proud to continue the tradition of the DM&IR Veteran Employees’ Association with our fundraising calendar for 2027. Our prices are higher this year due to a postage price increase and large parcel holiday surcharge from USPS. This year's calendar is for sale at a cost of $25.00 for the large calendar and $18.00 for the small calendar, which includes the postage.

This year’s calendar features beautiful image of a loaded natural ore train near Allen Junction (Hoyt Lakes), headed for Two Harbors in 1957 with Yellowstone 228 on the point.

ORDER DEADLINE IS NOVEMBER 27 TO HELP ENSURE TIMELY ARRIVAL

Caboose C-25 on display at Gopher State Railway Museum

Here’s some information about the C-25, which you may recall was moved from Bud Bulgrin’s backyard after he passed, to the Gopher State Railway Museum. You can see the caboose on May 3rd as the Museum open’s it’s season. More details below from the GSRM:

Come on out to Gopher State Railway Museum Saturday, May 3rd between 10am and 4pm.

The museum will be open and we’ll be debuting the addition of DM&IR caboose C-25 to our active roster of operating cabooses you can ride in.

Volunteers from the Minnesota Fire Engine Club will be there with a few of their trucks to demonstrate.

There will be a food and refreshment stand selling various items to satisfy hungry, thirsty visitors.

Participate in the GSRM C-25 “buy a board, sign a board” fundraiser time capsule. Donors can purchase a piece of car siding and sign their name on the back. The board with your signature towards the back of the siding will be used in restoration of C-25 and visible to future volunteers when new siding is required.

Other museum rail cars and displays will be open for touring including 1880 Pullman car Manitoba.

Admission is FREE, but donations are accepted to cover the cost to keep the train running.

See you on May 3rd!!

THANKS to the Gopher State Railway Museum for preserving this important piece of DM&IR history!
