Hi Everyone—


The launch presentation and book signing of our brand new railroad history book, Twin Ports Trains by Tony Dierckins and Jeff Lemke, is just around the corner. The launch runs from 7-9PM but we recommend arriving by 6:30 to get a good seat for the presentation. That's all happening on Thursday August 1, 2024 inside the spectacular Lake Superior Railroad Museum at Duluth Union Depot.


Yesterday's Duluth News Tribune (DNT) featured a full page story by Jay Gabler on our historic project. While the online version is for DNT subscribers only, for those of you serious about your Twin Ports railroad history, the $2 fee to access their entire site is a bargain. Click the image below to go there now.


Here's how you can order your copy of Twin Ports Trains:


In Minnesota, for those of you who are able to attend the launch, author-signed books will be available for sale immediately after our presentation, and you can expect to find our book for sale inside the Lake Superior Railroad Museum gift shop as well.


In Illinois, we'll begin selling signed copies at the Great Midwest Train Show in Wheaton, IL on Sunday August 4th, with additional show dates to follow.


If you're unable to attend either of those events, and you live in the USA, then you can click here to buy a signed copy of our book through our eBay Store beginning on Monday August 5th. We'll send out reminders that day via email and through our Facebook page.


Price per book in the USA with UPS shipping included will be $65.00 + state sales tax depending on where you live. Our hard cover books will be shipped in sturdy boxes so that they arrive in perfect condition.


If you live outside of the USA and want to purchase a signed copy of our book, then please send us an email ASAP so that we can calculate your price with shipping to your location and invoice you accordingly through PayPal.


If you have a family member, railroad colleague, or friend who might be interested in our book, please feel free to forward this information to them as well. This book project is our way of giving back to the greater community of Duluth-Superior. Not just for the railroaders, but anyone who lived or worked here, so that everyone can better understand how it all began and developed—one railroad at a time. The thriving communities that sprang up on both sides of St. Louis Bay are a direct result of pioneer railroad visionaries who battled each other for dominance of this vitally important rail-and-sail inland port terminal.


We'll have more information about the book launch on our Facebook page too, at: https://www.facebook.com/JeffLemkeTrains
