73 on the A line at Temple and Edgeware in 1946.
The tracks leading off to the left of the photograph take one to the Edgeware Road shuttle, which prior to 1942 had been a through route downtown and out to the southwest of town.
That was the 10 line, which was broken into two shuttles in 1942.

Turns out that even before I was 6, I was continually telling her that she was attempting to get on the wrong car. And to think that she got upset at my being a railfan
