The “HEADING HOME” Game
Directions: As the train heads back to the station in Downtown Duluth, see if you can spot these places along the railroad tracks. They are listed in order as we travel back to the Depot.
1. Ding Ding Ding Ding – I stop traffic while your train goes by
2. On the land side of the train: A big place of learning, built not in the west but here on the other side
3. ON the land and lake sides of the train: This is 40 feet below the track and flows through the rocks below, on a map its called “Tischer” but most people know its name from the family that owned Glensheen Mansion
4. On the lake side of the train: It’s the largest body of fresh water in the world – can you see it yet? What is its “better” name?
5. On the lake side of the train: Stretching for over 7 miles from Canal Park to the Eastern edge of Duluth, its named after the lake right next to it.
6. On the lakeside of the train and ahead: It was designed by the same person who designed the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but here in Duluth everyone knows it for going up and down…
7. On the lake side of the train: A large area of town named after its famous “boat passing lane”
8. ON the lake side of the train after tunnel: Its too big and red to paddle with an OAR, that is why it can carry so much ORE. What is its name?
9. On the lake side of the train: Its home to the UMD Bulldogs
10. After stopping at the switch: Named after the person who donated money for its construction, the large tan building is where trains are fixed. What is its name?
