[milwaukee-electric] Re: Harrison Street station NSL

[Don Ross]

This is Don R, the younger Don (by one year)
Harrison Street station was the end of the street running.  There was 
a large yard with a shop.  This was on the east of the main 
line.  The shop was a major facility and serviced cars day and 
night.  On the west side of the main line was a large wooden 
station-office-freight house.  The city cars went to Oklahoma Ave 
which was only 3 blocks away.
221 was taken at the MD house.  They referred to Merchandise Dispatch 
rather than freight.
768 was taken after leaving the Harrison station.  The shops can be 
seen in the background.  The station itself was just off the right 
edge of the picture.
251 was taken coming into the Harrison station.  The tracks to the 
right behind the truck were the MD tracks.  The tracks to the left 
were the ones going into the shop area.  The shop area tracks were 
also used for the truck-trailer service.  It was a really busy area 
in the 1940s-1950s.
