Trolley car mishaps.

OK, other clues for you photo detectives. The box car reporting mark is MILW - the Milwaulkee Road, aka Chicago, Milwaulkee, St. Paul, and Pacific RR. The trolley is number 11 and the name on the marquee looks like it starts with a letter "P".
The building in the lower right foreground says "Wisconsin Ice and Coal".
I would think that engine would be pretty tracable, too -- whatever those letters are. Off to run an errand, so I can't explore further.
Tomlinson Run Railroad

That is a Milwaukee 800 or 900 series street car on route 11. Route 11 went down Howell ave on Milwaukee's south side. This mishap was most likely on 1st and Becher st. There was a diaganal crossing through 1st street for Vilter manufacturing, it is possible the Milwaukee Road was switching it when this happened. There was another crossing further south at the Nordco plant, not sure if that was the location.
