Finally, someone sees the third trolley wire ear. The trolley wire both
ahead of and to the rear of the ear can even be seen. The wire to the rear
of the third ear is clearer than that to the front of said ear.  Also, why
are the "clouds" obscuring the trolley rope on the front trolley pole about
a half-inch below the trolley wheel? The clouds should all be behind the
rope, not in front of it. The rope itself makes a strange angular bend away
from the streetcar in the area of the windshield even though the rope is
not touching the trolley.
Now, get a magnifying glass, if necessary, and check out the area to the
right of the line poles. Do you see the shadow which like something was
edited out of one of the two photos. If you really look, and look to "see",
another structural shape is present at the bottom of that shadowy vertical
column. I'll let someone else find that and then I can verify it.

It's still a fake photo.
