era Pacific railroad comes into the city) and Phalen creek (the valley down which the Duluth branch of the Northern Pacific comes) ran down these two valleys. The embankment of the road, from the river up these valleys, was about fifteen feet high. Fourth street was graded to cross this fill, and the next crossing was what is now known as Lafayette avenue. Kittson's Addition, and other additions laying out this sec- tion of the city east of Broadway, were simply on paper; the streets were not g...raded, and only here and there was a shanty to be seen. For nearly twelve months the passengers had to go to the little depot down on Phalen creek to take the cars for Saint Anthony. Early in 1863 a contract was made for the construction of a trestle some three-quarters of a mile long, from the levee at the foot of Sibley street to the railroad embankment at the crossing of Fourth street. The trestle was from four feet high at Sibley street to twenty-two feet high where it crossed the creek. It was used by the trains from 1863 till after 1868.
