2350 is at Short Beach on the Branford line: note the switch behind the car, and the wilderness in the far background plus the railroad-crossing sign visible to the left of the white house. This photo was taken after Apr 22 1946 (the line was cut back from Stannard Ave to Short Beach PO) because we see the switch to blend the double track into single track. 2350 is not a true Birney since it was built by Osgood-Bradley, its a single-truck safety car: Birneys were built by Brill and its licensees, but O-B was not a licensee.
