      Yes. Still in operation and built very well. These pictures were taken just a few weeks ago. I had a chance to read the informatioin plaque near the bridge and I think it was built in 1905. Still functions wonderfully. The story: Decades ago my pal and I were staying in Duluth and skiing in the area. After a few beers and very late at night, we were exploring down by the lake and decided to start climbing the girders of the bridge, just for fun. Of course, when the lake is frozen, there is no boat traffic in the harbor. Thus we were quite certain that the bridge house was unmanned. It was comletely dark inside which convinced us further that it was empty. Our mistake. They were watching us and they did, indeed, ask us if we wanted to spend a night in jail. We may have paused for a moment before we answered but we were quite polite and accepted the offer to leave and we did not offer any smart alecky answers. 🙂🙂

      @@bruchorama Sounds like you had a fun evening..... Some friends and I sneaked into a elevator shaft "years back" and road the elevator up and down on the roof of the car, fun days.......
