No, the streetcars did not use the Brady Street Bridge because it  
wasn't named that at the time.    It was called the 22nd Street  
Bridge.   And they ran over it until they were shifted to the 10th  
Street Bridge on April 18, 1915.

The date of the extension to Brentwood is incorrect.   Brentwood loop  
was placed in service Feb. 8, 1924.   The line was extended to  
Brentwood on January 1 1923.   The new barn opened May 19, 1922.

Source?   PRC route cards.
