I see a Milton Shapp billboard in the photo.  He ran for Governaor of Pennsylvania in the fall of 19 66, and East End trolleys ended in January, 1967.  The primary election was in the spring of 1966, so that would place this photo that year.

Two of my favorite Pittsburgh items are in the photo.............the small 
street lamp at the end of the safety island and the traffic signal showing 
yellow over green. I did put the photo on my "watch list" on eBay.
