Photos taken from the top of the east abutmant where the Interurban crossed Post Oak Creek, located near Hwy 75, west access road.  Imagine the fun the kids had back in the day, swimming in the creek, while "trains thundered by, high overhead". ~~~~John Markl

Workmen have completed the bridge across Post Oak Creek in West Lamar street and are ready to turn the structure over to the city.  It is built of concrete and steel and is one of the best bridges in the county.  It will in addition to being used by pedestrians, be used by the Texas Traction company when the line to West Hill is constructed.
