Gary S and list:   Ya Got Me !   Yes, I now see Burnham ending at 66th
then again in place between 68th and 73rd streets.  Next is a three
block segment between 82nd and 84th streets.  Another leg is shwon
between  93rd and 98th streets..     

My 1939 edition of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Area Transit Guide and
Maps, shows nothing more than that.         

Memory tells me that there were dome industries on the morth side of the
C&NW mainline.  Surely, one of more of them, would have had Industrial
spurs for carload loading, unloading or both.            

I've never heard of West Allis Junction but, that may well have been the
C&NW name for the Tower and the connecting single tracked line to
Madison.                  

When TMER&L bilt the connection between Fruitland and West Junction,in
1930, a caroad track connection was build off this extension, connecting
the TM with the CNW by a trailing switch south of the overhead bridge.
This connecting track connected to the CNW Madison line trailing to the
east at the interchange track connection.                                               

Thiem Products was an industry located on the interchange track, served
by TMER&L                                                   

I must review and update, my file on Industries which were carload
served,  keeping the box motor M 14 quite busy all night long.
