Milwaukee used to set streetcars, interurbans and other assorted pieces of
freshly built or outshopped equipment right in the middle 38th and McKinley
to take photos. Not a major intersection for auto traffic, but with Miller
Brewery, Harley-Davidson and other assorted industries nearby, this must
have occasionally raised heck with truck traffic.

In either case, it would be no different than the power company or water
district shutting down sections of roadway to perform various tasks today.
