Incan Superior outbound, May 8, 1991

Late in the afternoon the outbound Incan Superior hustles across St Louis Bay with the giant grain elevators along the Superior, Wisconsin, waterfront looming in the background. The Incan Superior has five tracks strung along much of its length of 385 feet. A pair of EMD 645-E7 V12 diesel engines that each produce 2,150 hp turn the twin propeller shaft screws. On November 19, 1992 she made her last run out of Superior. Lower traffic levels that year prompted the service to be suspended. The vessel was renamed the "Princess Superior" and currently handles truck trailers to Vancouver Island on Canada's west coast.
