Look directly above the rear license plate on the sedan moving away
from the camera. Look near one of the bridge crossbeams and you will
see a span wire, hanger, and trolley wire for this side of the bridge.
I have not yet found a trolley wire on the side of the bridge with the
bus operating toward the camera. The bridge looks like it's wired
together anyway. Hard to find trolley wire in all that mess of wires
and steel.
