Thanks for this nice dose of traction - what fantastic shots.
|
A fascinating picture, interesting to see the total lack of cars on the street in 1962 as well.
|
The wet street makes it even better.
|
I'll guess that's the 16th Street bridge in the background.
|
Not one speck of litter in this picture. Americans were a lot more proud of their country back then.
|
I agree with Anthony, I believe that is the 16th St. Bridge. This area looks a bit different today, although there are still tracks down Chestnut St.
|
Car 1695 is about to turn off 16th Street onto Liberty Avenue. The cross street to the rear is Penn Avenue and the orange brick building to the left is the new at that time Pennsylvania Railroad freight house. Great shot.

30 cents for gas!

I was looking at this picture again, and what's strange is the absence of cars on the streets.
