Colorized photo from 1908
Original title: Up the incline from Superior Street

Location: 701 West Superior street
This was the Seventh Ave West Incline that ran in Duluth Minnesota. It was built in 1891, and ran from West Superior St, to Seventh Ave West. The fare was 15 cents, which is about $4.50 in 2022 money). The entire trip lasted 15 minutes from top to bottom and was a half mile long.
This station had a fire which burned the whole system down. This image is from when they were reconstructing things. The track on the right served as a counterweight for the other car, while they rebuilt the power station.
Each house seems to have its own little garden, and they seem to be selling some kind of striped melon in the fruit stand.
