Yes it does, Thanks Boris

Relating to another recent thread, there are also some photos of the 
Manchester Bridge. One dtd 31 July 1918 of the south approach to the bridge 
shows a double track for streetcars, but no overhead.  Union Bridge was 
closed 1907, and Manchester bridge opened 1913.

Also, concerning prior comment on Irene Kaufmann Settlement, it was located 
on Center Ave., and the kids are boarding the second car of a m-u train.  
Pole is up on first car, hooked down on second car.
