Milwaukee Lines 1957 Part 2 Streetcars and Street Cars!

Part 2 of our Milwaukee Lines streetcars shot in 1957. The streetcars are cool and so are the automobiles. This is some rare footage shot by a real railfan.#streetcar #train #trolley

This was my neighborhood growing up as a kid. I was 3 years old when the #10 streetcar line was abandoned. But I can still remember it when it ran.
As a young boy growing up, I traced and retraced all of those routes on my bicycle, walked the tracks, picked up various artifacts and TMER&L pole tags

Awesome. I had freight trains running through my neighborhood as a boy.

WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK TO MY HOMETOWN MILWAUKEE AND SEE WHERE THE STREETCARS WERE.

I rode the route #10 streetcar across that trestle many times when I was a kid.

I USE TO GO TO WEST ALLIS ON THE CAR VERY YOUNG HARD TO REMEMBER BUT FUN. WISH THEY COULD OF LET ONE LINE TO REMAIN FOR HISTORIC REASONS NOT SURE WHY EVERYTHING NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED.

Cars, cars, cars. Detroit spent a lot of money lobbying to destroy public transportation around this country and they were very good at it.

Like what New Orleans, Louisiana did with preserving the St Charles streetcar line.
