[PRCo] Pflaum Collection of Pittsburgh Street Railways Photos on Historic Pittsburgh Site

[Herb Brannon]

I checked two other copies of this photo which I have. One is on a calendar
from 1967, the other from the Internet. All three photos look the same to
me. The two ladies looking in a storefront to the left (facing) the
Roosevelt Hotel entrance are in the same positions in all three photos, the
auto is in the same position to the rear of the trolley but in the right
lane, and the light trails on the 7th Street Bridge are the same length and
position. The only difference is that the other two photos have had the
foreground cropped to remove the light trails which appear to be on the
surface of Penn Avenue in this photo. Also, the trolley seems to be a
regular service car. There are no people hanging around on the curbs like
always happens on a fan trip. Not much going on inside the trolley either.
The ghost-like image of someone either heading toward or away from the taxi
parked in front of the hotel is also on all three photos.
