  • The Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (DSS&A) (reporting mark DSA) was an American railroad serving the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and the Lake Superior shoreline of Wisconsin. It provided service from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and St. Ignace, Michigan, westward through Marquette, Michigan to Superior, Wisconsin, and Duluth, Minnesota. A branchline stretched northward from Nestoria, Michigan up to the Keweenaw Peninsula and terminating at Houghton, Michigan, with two branches extending further to Calumet, Michigan and Lake Linden, Michigan. The first predecessor of the DSS&A began operations in 1855. The railroad fell under the control of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in 1888 and was operated from 1888 until 1960 as an independently nameplated subsidiary of the CPR. In 1949, a reorganization of the DSS&A took place, creating new heralds and designating the company a railroad instead of a railway. In 1961, the DSS&A was folded into the CPR-controlled Soo Line Railroad. Since 2001, the remaining operating trackage of the former DSS&A has been operated by the Canadian National Railway (CN). Short stretches of original DSS&A trackage are still operated between Trout Lake and Munising Junction, from Ishpeming to Baraga, and between White Pine and Marengo Junction. (en)
  • Le Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway (DSS&A) (sigle AAR: DSA) était un chemin de fer américain de classe I desservant la Péninsule supérieure du Michigan et les rives du Wisconsin sur le lac Supérieur. Il permettait de relier Sault Sainte-Marie, et Saint Ignace, avec des villes situées plus à l'ouest comme Marquette, Superior, Wisconsin, et Duluth, Minnesota. Un embranchement partait de Nestoria, Michigan pour remonter vers le nord jusqu'à Houghton, Michigan, avant de passer sur la Copper Island où deux embranchements permettaient de relier Calumet, Michigan et Lake Linde, Michigan. Le premier prédécesseur du DSS&A commença ses opérations en 1855. Le chemin de fer tomba sous le contrôle du Canadian Pacific Railway en 1888 qui l'exploita de façon indépendante de 1888 à 1960. En 1949, une réorganisation eut lieu avec l'adoption d'un nouveau logo et l'utilisation de la terminologie Railroad au lieu de Railway. En 1961, le DSS&A RR fut rattaché au Soo Line Railroad, filiale du CP. Depuis 2001, la portion encore opérationnelle du DSS&A est exploitée par le Canadian National Railway; elle se limite aux régions situées entre Trout Lake et Munising Junction, Ishpeming et Baraga, et White Pine et Marengo Junction.
