February 15, 1936
News Tribune reader Robert Johnsted Sr. sent us this picture a few years back for the old Then & Now column (he said we could keep it). It shows the view from the top of the Duluth Incline in February 1936. The incline railway at Seventh Avenue West, and closed just a few years after this picture was taken, in 1939.
You can read a lot more about the incline – and see many more great photos – at this site.
Here’s a zoomed-in view of the photo above:
