The original caption reads: 77 has just left North St. heading toward Sharon Hill.
NOTE: Today, just south of North St, Woodlawn runs along the west side of the tracks; this photo shows Woodlawn on what would be the east side of the tracks. Today, there is no evidence of that commercial building in the left. hand side of the photo, and the tracks don't curve the same amount, nor is there a street forking off at the location of the photo (the street is another 50 feet or so east).
A better caption fit to the photo might be 77 inbound at Bartram Ave. The ROW curve and street configuration of Woodlawn Ave fit better, but the commercial building is no longer there.
