Fox's Den Lodge Budd Car Train

There are only two places left in North America where a train stops and picks people up or drops people off at various points out in the wilderness and the Budd car train that runs by our lodge in one of them. The Budd car is a two-car train with internal engines. A locomotive does not pull it. The Budd Train picks-up and drops-off people at remote settlements, lodges, outpost camps and remote trapping lines, which are are away from any roads.

This unique train travels between Sudbury and White River on alternate days. The train passes the lodge heading west on Saturdays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at around 4:00 pm. It's a 15 minute trip from Missanabie. On Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays the train leaves from White River and heading East ad this is a 1 3/4 hr trip This two car train can be caught much like taking a taxi cab. You stand by the tracks and when you see the train coming raise your arm and they'll stop for you. They'll then ask you where you want off and charge a very small fee, it's that easy!
