No question at all that the building end in Derrick's pictures  
matches identically the one in the Railroad Avenue pictures.   And  
the bridge piers are also dead ringers for it.   But I cannot figure  
how the trolley got to the front side of the houses?    I'm assuming  
that the bridge construction was not yet finished and they were still  
ramping up to the old Rankin Bridge and that a new pier would later  
block this scene?
