City Cars 575 - 599
501 thru 600 were built by St. Louis Car in 1911. At 29 1/2 tons, they were the heaviest local cars built for Milwaukee. The story is told that people along the Wells Line were complaining about the interurbans which ran every hour. John I. Beggs ordered these cars to really give them something to complain about. The truth of this story is questionable but they were his last purchase for TM.
This series of 100 cars is being split into four pages for convenience.
591 thru 599 were one-manned in 1926. 586 thru 590 were one-manned in 1927. 576 was one-manned in 1930. 575 and 577 thru 585 were one-manned in 1931. All were scrapped between 1948 and 1952.
