The Gunflint and Lake Superior Railroad was a logging line operated by the Pigeon River Lumber Company from 1902 to 1909. It connected to the Canadian Northern Railway Duluth Extension/North Lake Subdivision (exPort Arthur, Duluth and Western Railway) at Milepost 79. It travelled six miles from the Ontario side of Gunflint Lake into Minnesota passing Crab and Whisker Lakes to near Topper Lake.

This video covers where the railroad leaves a flooded area and proceeds to the southwest on the south side of a large ridge on the southeast side of Gunflint Lake. In two places a few rails remain in place, one of which contains double rails and parts of a junction, indicating that there was a siding in the area.

Active, 19021909.

*Apologies for the camera shake. This was recorded in 2014, before the development of more recent stabilized camera systems.
