TM Relic
Near 1st and Kinnickinnick just south of downtown Milwaukee, an old substation building stands, relic of The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company, known to many years of locals as the "TM". TMER&L operated both the city streetcar system and a network of interurban lines radiating from the Cream City to Racine and Kenosha, Burlington, East Troy, Waukesha and Watertown, Port Washington and Sheboygan. This substation was strategically placed near the Kinnickinnick Car House (which still serves the public today, in mostly rebuilt form, as a bus garage for the Milwaukee County Transit System) and the intersection of a few busy streetcar lines such as those serving Greenfield and Kinnickinnick Avenues.
