  1. FWIW, the photo of the car along the old Rapid Transit line is at the Hawley Road overpass stop. Also note that the photo of the #10 car opposite the Milwaukee Road station is just East of where the line narrowed from 2 tracks to one as it crossed the Menomonee River bridge. Thanks for posting.

  2. That last picture is an unusual view of Hawley Road. The tavern is still there, and the bridge is still there, permitting pictures of the empty right of way. It's more common to see pictures taken from the Hawley Road bridge of westbound cars, particularly in the afternoon.
