[milwaukee-electric] Re: Streetcar Tracks on S. 1st, Near Pittsburgh

[Don L. Leistikow]

Ken:   Pittsburgh Street is just a block past the Milwaukee River
Bridge.  The original tracks coming south, off the bridge turned west on
Seeboth Street thence south again on S. 1st Street.  Pittsburgh  is one
block south of Seeboth.  

Some years ago, the building and land bordered by Seeboth, S.1s and
Pittsburgh, was cleared for street widening and tracks were laid on a
line with the angled bridge which connected with S. Water street on th
north side of the river and E. Seeboth . S. Water street went off on a
SE angle from the east side and opposite of Seeboth street.                                         

Streetcar Routes 15 OAKLAND~DELAWARE and  18 NATIONAL~FOND DU LAC lines
operated on Water and S. 1st streets, in that area.
