Milwaukee's unique feeder cable brackets for use on concrete and steel tubular line poles. The "acorn" streetlight is also a Milwaukee original. Many Milwaukee street light standards erected prior to mid-1965 still bare visible "scars" from the days when cross span collars and feeder cable brackets were mounted. Photo by Ken Josephson.

A westbound Route 21-North Avenue Marmon-Herrington crosses North 49th Street. It is the last week of December, 1962. On December 29th, , Routes 15, 21, 22, 35 and the Vliet Street half of Route 18 were all dieselized. This cut Milwaukee's trackless trolley mileage in half. During the trackless trolley era, Route 21's western terminal was at N. 60th Street and West North Avenue. A connecting diesel or gas bus continued west into Wauwatosa. A short turn loop via West Lisbon Avenue and North 49th Street accounted for the overhead in the foreground. This 300 series M-H entered service in 1947. Summary by Ken Josephson. Photographer unknown.
