DSS&A 204-209 Train 21's power tying up
IIRC, that's the train number for the St. Ignace to Superior run in this 1958 era shot probably about mid day on a Sunday. A good story would be we'd visited relatives in West Duluth and were headed back home to Ironwood via the Arrowhead bridge, Billings Park, and 21st Street over to the East End and stumbled on this. Never saw active South Shore power here again. The landscape is pretty barren in the background, perhaps it's late winter or early spring. Everything here is gone.
The further story is this shot was "lost" in our move from Woodbury to FL 10 years ago, and just recently found in with some other "junk" black and white negatives of the 50s and 60s. This was in my "economy" mode when shooting 35mm Plus-X was considerably cheaper than buying 620 roll film for my other camera particularly when shooting "common" stuff like this.
In spite of its lack of quality, I thought I'd let it see the light of day before it's "lost" again.
