Rolling through the small community of Skibo, MN. The station at Skibo was named after Skibo Castle, the Scottish summer home of Andrew Carnegie. The site was the location of a sawmill that operated during the early part of the 20th Century and was built and owned by the Oliver Company, which was a pioneer in mining on the Iron Range. The first railroad route to the Iron Range, the Duluth & Iron Range, serviced their mines, crossing the Saint Louis River here at Skibo which is five miles downstream from the original mill site. Today, there are a few remains of the old mill site and a few homes and cabins along the railroad.
