[milwaukee-electric] Re: Harrison Street station NSL

[Gary Schnabl]

The caption of the photo I linked to before with the Schroeder Hotel in 
the background said:
Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee interurban cars at the storage yard 
near the Harrison Street station. Milwaukee Wisconsin.

That implied that the Harrison Street station was in downtown Milwaukee. 
Wouldn't the Harrison Street part of the caption be in error?

Another website mentioned that there was a yard on the Sout Site where 
the city cars continued to Oklahoma: Double-truck car 357 from St. Louis 
Car Co. heads south on 5th street and is about to enter
the yard at Harrison St. and enter private-right-of-way to the end of 
the city car
line at Oklahoma Ave.
