For those of you at our recent Midwest Marketplace in Dubuque, did you check out this view? 😳 Wisconsin always shines 🥰
Ever seen WISCONSIN from the top of the shortest, steepest railroad IN THE WORLD?! 🚊 It's just across the Mississippi in Dubuque!
The Fenelon Place Elevator (also known as the Fourth Street Elevator) is 296 feet long and angles up at 41 degrees for a vertical elevation of 189 feet.
At the top — there are TWO observation decks, which offer unobstructed views of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa!
When the elevator first opened in 1884, rides cost 5 cents. Nowadays, they’re $2 each way. The elevator runs daily from April 1 through November 30.
