Concerning Narrow bridge, yes, except what about that large cylindrical tank in background???  Can someone else place it????  I can't.

 

And while I can find feeder cables, I can't find the trolley wires in this picture.  And that looks like a Pittsburgh Railways bus in background. Could this bridge have had trolley service abandoned in early 1950s?????

 

Cheers

John
