The photographer looks across Fifth Ave on Liberty at two low-floor cars in opposite directions. While "64" appears to be the route for one, it is certainly not the latter day route! The third track on our right is for the Butler interurbans -- they may have used it to lay over at the curb before turning north onto Sixth. On the North Side, one Butler Interurban followed the 10-line to Evergreen where it struck out on its own; the other went out East Ohio Street following the 2-line to the end where it continued to Butler. That is Kaufmann's clock on the left, a good meeting place for friends in downtown Pittsburgh. It is still functional in 2014!
