Volunteer Tom greets a new passenger after the MSM crew brought 78 into Water Street after their latest trip out on the line, a trip I partook of. Today was my first ride on the ESL in years. |

I Wish I Could Take This Train |
| Description: |
A replica sign of a vintage advertisement for the Northern Pacific's Lake Superior Limited can be found aboard Duluth Street Railway 78. I wish I could take that train. (Sigh,) |

Here is a new safety zone installed along the Excelsior Streetcar Line's right-of-way west of Morse Avenue. Work began last winter and was completed well within time for the ESL's operating season. Note DSR 78 at Water Street in the background. |

Pavers And Step Box |
| Description: |
The step box for ESL passengers provides a nice accompaniment to the vintage pavers installed at the Water Stret end of the ESL. As I have noted previously, these pavers were once installed in Water Street when the Twin Cities Rapid Transit operated in Excelsior. |

Winona 10 |
| Description: |
Scott H. and his colleague chat while taking Winona 10 on another run on the Excelsior Streetcar Line. I remember when Winona 10 arrived at the ESL. She was a bit weathered, had not trucks, but was otherwise in good shape. Now look at her. |

A Streetcar Stopped Just For Me |
| Description: |
When I droppped by the Excelsior Streetcar Line on a gorgeous Saturday during Memorial Day weekend, I lucked out big time: I got to take a ride on Duluth 265 as the only passenger! I guess you could say a streetcar stopped just for me. :-) Former Minneapolis & St. Louis depot, now a museum, is in the left background. |

Back At Water Street |
| Description: |
Sure was nice to be the solo rider on a streetcar this run. Now back at Water Street, 265 is getting a flock of passengers while volunteer Jim V. makes notes in the car's passenger record. The pavers you see right behind the 265 are from Water Street, back in the glory days when streetcars from Twin Cities Rapid Transit rolled down that thuroughfare. |
