[milwaukee-electric] Re: 25th Anniversary: "The Trolley at East Troy"

[Gary Schnabl]

This 1934 map clearly shows where the interurban had its bridges 
(http://www4.uwm.edu/libraries/digilib/zoom/am000785.cfm ) over street, 
streams, and railroad tracks. It also shows that West Allis Junction was 
located just east of West Junction--the map uses an arrow to locate it 
just east of 98th and Burnham. I suppose that streetcars used West Allis 
Junction and walked the short distance to West Junction. Or did the two 
junctions use only one passenger stop?
One (interurban?) viaduct was from 39th to 45th Street (a bit north of 
Canal Street) over the railroad tracks and the river. Was it really that 
long? That was probably used before the rapid transit route extended 
east of 35th Street to Eighth and Hibernia. Are there any remnants left 
of the bridge over Honey Creek--around 81st to 83rd Streets?
