Leavin' Water Street

On Some Street!
Title:  On Some Street!
Description:  The office building to the left put its parking lot right on the right of way of the CNW ex-M&ST.L. Morton sub after abandonment. Cars now park in the new lot to the right, leaving some "street" for ESL's treasures to traverse. Today Duluth Street Railways 78 does so as the crew takes their latest passengers up the line for a carbarn tour and then on to the Excelsior Blvd end and back to Water Street.

Old Streetcar On The New
Title:  Old Streetcar On The New
Description:  Once the Twin Cities Rapid Transit passed over the Minneapolise & St. Louis at this location. Now DSR 78 plies the trolley rails that took over where once steamers, Alcos, and later geeps rumbled as the motorman gives a teenage couple a friendly wave.

Look Before You Cross
Title:  Look Before You Cross
Description:  Despite the RR crossing signs on Morse Avenue, crews on the Excelsior Streetcar Line always bring the car to a stop and see if the coast is clear before the appropriate bell signals are given and the car goes on its way. Here's Duluth Street Railways 78 stopped for the procedure.

Tour Stop
Title:  Tour Stop
Description:  While one passenger choses to skip it, DSR sits otherwise empty as the crew shows the rest of their fares around inside the ESL carbarn. According to the book "The Como-Harriet Story", DSR 78 is more a replication than a restoration because only half the original wood was re-used during the rebuild and the power truck is from Belguim. Nevertheless, she returned to her former glory and plied the Como-Harriet line until arriving at Excelsior in 1999.
