A streetcar built in 1911 sits on Superior Street outside the car house (at right). The wire basket was called a fender, a safety device designed to scoop up a pedestrian and prevent death under the wheels.
Passengers boarded both Duluth and Twin Cities streetcars through these rear gates. Streetcar 265 survives today, and operates in Minneapolis on the Minnesota Streetcar Museum's Como-Harriet Line. The photograph location is Superior Street at 13th Avenue East.
