On the first Monday of every month, there is an unstructured operating session. Members may bring their own equipment to run on the layout provided the equipment meets NMRA standards and recommended practices. This includes but is not limited to proper coupler height, wheel gauge, and weight.
On the second Monday of every month, there is a structured operating session. The club uses Ship It software to generate switch lists and we find that it works well for us.
Superior Northern RR History
A detailed, all encompassing history of the Superior Northern Railroad is all but impossible due to the rather short history of the railroad and the fact that all records of its operations and all equipment lists were lost in a disastrous fire that destroyed the offices and buildings on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Some records, mostly lists of assets, of the Superior Northern must exist in the old records of the Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railroad (DSS&A). However the DSS&A did not fully complete its absorption of the Superior Northern before it in turn was purchased by the SOO Line. These records have not come to light and apparently are lost in the DSS&A files.
