Mr.Brannon!  You definitely have "something" with the extra hanger;
it is in a different-higher plane than the running wires with 'span wire'
that disappears at the left running wire.  Also note how the two outside
wires 'appear' further apart at the next span; they should appear
closer shouldn't they.
The truck appears fine to me but it can be the monitor, my eyes, a
combination of these can't it.

I am not convinced of a burn-in or feathering for hilites.  That over
"Mon City" looks chopped and ragged.  It still gives a 'hint' of a
picture through the back window of an auto.

To consider other possibilities, double exposures were a problem
if the film wasn't wound or the photographer forgets not winding.

The asphalt paving at this time and the surrounding construction
suggests something recent where a temporary shoofly might be
built on top of the roadway on our left for bi-directional travel.
Another trolley wire(s) could be strung for temporary use.

Probably not photoshopped but could be dark room magic of
the day to accomplish something similar just for fun.  It is a
charter so why not go further and create something unusual.

Shall we ever know for certain?
