[PRCo] East Ohio Street - January 1920

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Yes, Mr.Barry; we have seen this and others here before.  A trolley
in one of the photos appears to be a Butler interurban but it is
difficult to tell.

This does seem to be much earlier than 1920s.

Here is your original:

This one intrigues me (which we also saw before) where the carriage is
apparently taking the 'cross-over' to the other track to allow the trolley to pass:

Description from Historic Pittsburgh:  "General scenes of East Ohio Street including a trolley car to Etna and a sign showing the hours for tours of the Heinz Corporation."

This is a very narrow East Ohio Street. The description states it is January, 1920.  Clothing and horse carriages seem to reflect a slightly earlier time.

Also, check out the long cart in front of the streetcar.   I do believe the streetcar is pushing it.
