[William Sell]

I rode the part of the TMER&L that turned around in St. Martins. At 
this time Hales Corners was the last passenger stop. The leg to St. 
Martins allowed the front of the Interurban to remain in front for 
the return trip.  Those tracks were used by a co-op to bring 
materials to their store, near the turnaround.

Near the Hales Corners station there was a very simple wooden 
delivery platform which would allow a truck to drive up to the level 
of a boxcar door and load or unload.

Hope you find the picture you want.
