About The Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway (DM&IR) (reporting mark DMIR), informally known as the Missabe Road, was a railroad operating in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin that used to haul iron ore and later taconite to the Great Lakes ports of Duluth and Two Harbors, Minnesota. Control of the railway was acquired on May 10, 2004, by the Canadian National Railway (CN) when it purchased the assets of Great Lakes Transportation.

This sounds like an awesome route. It's a pity that DTG won't make this route set in the steam-era with DM&IR's massive 2-8-8-4 M3/M4 Yellowstones, 2-8-2 Mikados, 0-10-0s, 2-10-2 Santa Fes, and 2-10-4 Texas Types. The Alco RSD-15 "Alligator" would be awesome to have on a diesel-era version of this route, as would an SD9 "Cadillac", SD38/AC/-2, and SD40T-2/SD40-3.
