Dutluth, Minnesota, had two inclined railways. The most well known was the ‘7th Avenue West Incline’ (1891-1939). But  there was another incline which is not known by many people. It was the Belt Line Incline Railway (1889-1917). The bottom station was located at 61st avenue and Grand avenue and the top station at Bayview, Vinland street. Today a power line marks the location of the old cable railway.

Il y avait deux funiculaires à Duluth, Minnesota. Le plus connu était le ‘7th Avenue West Incline’ (1891-1939). Mais il y en avait un autre que très peu de gens connaissent. C’était le Belt Line Incline Railway (1889-1917). Situé beaucoup plus à l’ouest, la gare basse était au croisement de la 61ème avenue et de la Grand avenue et la gare haute se trouvait à Bayview sur la Vinland street. Aujourd’hui une ligne électrique indique l’emplacement de l’ancien funiculaire.
