When streetcars ruled Duluth streets

The bustling corner of Superior Street at 5th Avenue West, bracketed by the Spalding Hotel and the Lyceum Theater, was probably the most photographed place in downtown Duluth. The small light on the right front of the approaching car changed colors to indicate the destination. Its use was discontinued when the number of destinations soon exceeded the available colors.
