[PRCo] Re: Murray Avenue - Greenfield 1913

That overhead structure looks awfully permanent.  My guess is that the car
line was the original and that it was moved onto the street later in this
project.  Probably double-tracked, too.

Interesting that the car line ran below this construction of Murray Avenue
through Greenfield, looking south, toward the intersection with Hazelwood.
Not sure if it was a temporary track, or if it what we're looking at in the
photo was the original track, which appears to be exclusively a trolley
roadbed, and located where there is now residential homes, I think.
