Enjoy A Scenic Train Ride And Spend The Night In A Rail Car At This Little-Known Minnesota Railroad
Although you’d have to hop an interstate passenger train for a true onboard sleeping experience, you can still make your own overnight rail adventure in Minnesota with a scenic train ride to Two Harbors and an overnight stay in an authentic railcar.

Arrive early so you can spend some time exploring the museum's collection of historic trains and memorabilia.

Visit the railroad's website for the schedule and advance tickets.

Take some time to explore the downtown area, or relax with a cold beverage at Castle Danger Brewery.
Castle Danger Brewery, 17 7th St, Two Harbors, MN 55616, USA

The inn is a few miles from the Two Harbors depot, so you'll need to arrange for transportation with a car service or taxi.


The inn offers several room sizes and themes from which to choose. Visit the inn's website for reservation information.

Of course, upon reaching Two Harbors, you don’t have to stay in a railcar. You could choose to spend the night in a lighthouse, instead.
