A classic streetcar turnout on Bridge at Cottage in 1955. This is the former track for Rt 73, connecting Richmond to Frankford via Bridge St. By this point the track is only used by PCCs for car house access from Route 15-Girard Ave. The Rt 73 shuttle, bused April 11 1948, had three turnouts over its short route – one each at both ends of the line and this one near Mt Sinai Cemetery
