The film of the cars rolling along cement street tracks appears to be 
along Pittsburgh Railways route#64 -- Hawkins Avenue, in North Braddock, 
I think, where it is wide open and heading either to or from the bridge 
leading to the streets in East Pittsburgh.   (I don't have the PRC map 
with me, so it is difficult to name to exact street names.)

And another shot or two in the films appear to be either Euclid or  
____? street in Highland Park, as they are one way single track streets 
in what appears to be that neighborhood.

The other shot, of where the fictive collision occurs, I am not sure, 
but it appears to be Hamilton Avenue.
