Good Morning!

I-F   my bearings are correct, this shows Ferry from the Jenkins 
Arcade!       This was taken from the UOP site and thus the date as well 
which would seem to be in conflict with the razing of the Wabash!       
But the date has to be post July-1940 as that is a 1200-series PCC 
turning onto Liberty from Stanwix heading for the West End.       The 
motor coach in center left would be coming out of Diamond, the 10- or 
11-series PCC beyond that just came from Diamond, and the 10- or 
11-series beyond this one is turning into Fourth.       This last PCC is 
in almost the same position as the photo provided by Bill Robb which was 
taken staring at the Wabash from Fourth  --  just an earlier time and 
different PCC.       Looks to be a bus in the haze further out Ferry 
possibly making a left as well.

Considering that this was still the day and age of the TrolleyCar, that 
is one horrendous amount of traffic with which to contend.
