Yes, the 'jog' in the track is the give-away.  Yes, inbound on 85 actually 
(vague - actually v-e-r-y vague  -  recollection that an M11 fantrip circa 
1960 went over the 85 line).

Car is inbound on Centre Ave. on common 82/85 trackage.  The curve to left 
is recently relocated outbound 85 track.  (outbound track moved one block to 
east due to 'leveling' (for lack of a better term when applied to Pittsburgh 
<g>) and wiping out the lower Hill district for construction of Civic Arena)
