Southeastern Railway Museum comes alive with the sound of steam

A steam whistle permeated Duluth's crisp morning air for the first time in 15 years as steam returned to the Southeastern Railway Museum.

The sound of a steam whistle permeated Duluth’s crisp morning air for the first time in 15 years as steam returned to the Southeastern Railway Museum.

Jeddo Coal Co. No. 85, a guest locomotive that will be at the museum this weekend and next weekend, pulled the museum’s first steam-powered trains since 2003.

The Gramling family of Ashley, Ind., owns the locomotive. The family has taken their locomotives to 30 museums in 19 states since 2004.
