1121 began at the Public Service Building.
1121 backed into the MD warehouse and prepared to leave.
A stop was taken at a block before Lincoln Avenue.
A stop was taken at Harrison Street.
Oklahoma Avenue was the end of the city cars. Taking the picture was easy when I was young.

There was a stop at the State Line.
1121 posed with CNS&M 744 at Edison Court.
There was only one major wye on the line. The trip ended by wyeing at Green Bay Junction.

We know certainly that our God calls us to a holy life. We know that He gives us every grace, every abundant grace; and though we are so weak of ourselves, this grace is able to carry us through every obstacle and difficulty."
