1983 October 5.
原作者注：（翻译后）
原始图片一侧注有杭州，显然该批注明显有误。
图左无轨电车为21路，中间为20路
此处为中山公园。20路和21路的西侧终点。改位置在西侧愚园路的终点处，拍摄方向朝东。该处终点在上海西站的东南面，与上海西站不远。（引者注：这里的上海西站即长宁站，非现在的上海西站，原始位置基本相当于目前的轨道交通三号线中山公园站）

1983 October 5.
原作者注：
左侧无轨电车为27路，右侧向前行驶的是20路。
此处是南京西路新昌路西，向东是人民公园（即在右侧）。
背景的高楼是国际饭店，英文名字为花园饭店，1934年建，22层84米高。国际饭店在1966年前是中国最高的建筑。1983年前是上海最高的建筑（但我不记得我看到过比国际饭店更高的建筑，无论是在建还是已完成的）
我在想后面的标语写的什么
引者注：除20路和27路电车之外，我从没从以前的资料，如此清晰地反映出当时20路、27路黄河路站的停靠情况。我的印象是西向黄河路站就27路停的。

1983 October 5.
原作者注：改图片拍摄位置在南京西路黄河路，车向东。人民公园在马路左侧，国际饭店在右侧，但不再图片中。
图中无轨电车在20路。并注解为电视台。电视台实际在南京路南侧。马路的弯曲情况却给人电视台在马路北侧的印象。
（引者注：图片可以看到上海电视塔,不算很清晰，好多HINO，呵呵）

1983 October 5.
原作者注：
南京西路西藏中路西。
左侧电车为27路，右侧为20路。
北京后为国际饭店。国际饭店边有钟楼的建筑为金门大酒店（英文名为太平洋大酒店）
引者注：这个角度变化不大，建筑也都在。但此处电车不开行已久。

1983 October 5.
原作者注：南京东路西藏中路，往东拍摄。无轨电车为20路
请注意右侧信号灯控制塔。里面的警察穿的是老式白色警服。
已消失街景。
引者注：这个角度比较稀罕，多数拍法涉及的是中百一店，图中可见中百一店在修外立面。虽然南京东路拍烂了。现在看到的更多的是天桥完成后的南京东路西藏中路

1983 October 5.
西藏中路南京东路，向南侧拍摄。无轨电车显示为28路（引者注：应为18路）
引者注：背景有当时的黄浦区少年宫，后来的精品商厦

原作者暂无注
引者注：从后面的煤气罐和北京路口情况判断，这个应该是西藏中路上的18路，左侧绿色561应为南向北

橱窗里的华生电扇

原作者暂无注
引者注：当年电车供电高压力地段北京东路西藏中路路口，汇集了15、16、18、19、21路。

玉佛寺

原作者暂无注
引者注：应为康定路西康路，人朝西拍摄。两个561GF为23路的。

原作者暂无注
引者注：应为西康路康定路，该561向南行驶。奇怪的是，这个在24路线路上的561，翻了17路的路牌

原作者暂无注
引者注：应为西康路上的24路。具体位置本人目前没能力看出来，显然背景处已拆迁。文中值得关注的公交因素有老站牌，交通卡车底盘的电车架空车，相对明显的插在窗前的路牌号

原作者暂无注
引者注：应为西康路上的24路。具体位置本人目前没能力确认，显然背景处已拆迁。似乎为24路方向老西门，图片在西康路新会路北、长寿路南

原作者暂无注
引者注：应为西康路上的24路。位置为西康路新会路南侧，24路电车为宜昌路方向。后面背景的里弄刚拆迁不久。

Shanghai, Băoshān lù (宝山路), 1983
have attempted to identify the locations of 1983 street scenes in Shanghai using a 1983 street map, sketches of the trolleybus overhead system that I made … and a magnifier, so that I can see the trolleybus line number. This identification is sometimes “easy,” sometimes “difficult.”
The trolleybus in the photo is working Line 18. I believe that the direction of travel is southward.
The location appears to be in 宝山路, Băoshān lù, just north of 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station).
1983 October 4.

Shanghai, Hénán bĕilù (河南北路) at Tiānmù dōnglù (天目东路) – 1, 1983
The trolleybus is working Line 13. I believe that the direction of travel is (generally) westward.
The location is mere guesswork, based on the trolleybus overhead wire system. However, I believe that the vehicle is turning out of 河南北路, Hénán bĕilù, into 天目东路, Tiānmù dōnglù. This location was near 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station).
1983 October 4.

Shanghai, Hénán bĕilù (河南北路) at Tiānmù dōnglù (天目东路) – 2, 1983
The trolleybus is working Line 18. I believe that the direction of travel is (generally) southward.
I believe that the vehicle is turning out of 河南北路, Hénán bĕilù, into 天目东路, Tiānmù dōnglù. This location was near 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station).
The orange-and-white livery was unusual. “Most” Shanghai trolleybuses were painted light blue and white (or ivory).
1983 October 4.

Shanghai, Wŭjìn lù (武进路) at Hénán bĕilù (河南北路), 1983
The trolleybus is working Line 14. I believe that the direction of travel is (generally) southward.
The location is, again, mere guesswork, based on the trolleybus overhead wire system. However, I believe that the vehicle is turning out of 武进路, Wŭjìn lù, into 河南北路, Hénán bĕilù. This location was near 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station).
1983 October 4

Shanghai, Wŭjìn lù (武进路) 1983
The trolleybus in the background is working Line 14. I believe that the direction of travel is generally southward.
The people (and the trolleybus) are facing almost directly into the sun. The time of day was late afternoon. This suggests that the camera was facing eastward.
Again, a mere guess … but I believe that the location is in 武进路, Wŭjìn lù, “possibly” east of 四川北路, Sìchuān bĕilù.
Location was almost certainly “not far” from 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station). At this time, I was working “diligently,” taking notes on the trolleybus overhead wire system. I would have explored the immediate area by foot, taking notes about trolleybus overhead, before traveling to another part of Shanghai.
1983 October 4.

Shanghai, Jiāngwān wŭjiăocháng (江湾五角场), 1983
After exploring trolleybus Line 14, I “probably” returned to the area near 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn (Shanghai North Station).
My street map showed that two trolleybus lines, 18 and 21, extended north to a terminal named 虹口公园, Hóngkŏu gōngyuán.
Imagine my interest when I arrived at this terminal, and found a trolleybus line, number 9, that was not on the map (!).
The “outer” terminal of Line 9 was named 江湾五角场, Jiāngwān wŭjiăocháng. This was located in 邯郸路, Hándān lù, at 宁国路, Níngguó lù.
… and, imagine my interest when I arrived here, and found a trolleybus line under construction, extending southward in 宁国路, Níngguó lù (!).
This image is in 邯郸路, Hándān lù, just west of 宁国路, Níngguó lù. The 江湾五角场, Jiāngwān wŭjiăocháng, terminal of trolleybus Line 9 is visible in the background.
Time of day was late afternoon.
I remember that I did not stop making notes about trolleybus overhead wires, in northeastern Shanghai, until after midnight (!!).
I was questioned, briefly, by a plainclothes policeman during the “late” hours. I saw several men who looked like “plainclothes policeman,” so I was obviously not the primary subject of interest. This “sweep” was probably part of China\\\\’s (then-) ongoing crackdown on crime. The policeman asked why I did not have a hotel, and I was able to explain, in very simple “Putonghua,” that I planned to take a “night train” to Hangzhou. (I might even have had the ticket.) He appeared satisfied, and left.

Shanghai North station (上海北站), 1983
Diesel locomotive ND2 0174, built by Electroputere, Craiova, Romania.
Location is at 上海北站, Shànghăi bĕizhàn, “Shanghai North Station.”
Most of the people on the footbridge were just standing there, as if watching trains – or perhaps even “spotting trains.” I also saw this in Xi\\\\’an.
(Railway enthusiasts … in China … in 1983?)

Illuminations, National Day, Shanghai, 1983
The historic buildings along 中山路, Zhōngshān lù (“The Bund”) were illuminated in outline on the night of National Day, October 1.
The crowd became ever more excited as each building was lighted, one at a time. An English-speaking man explained that this sight could be seen only on National Day.

Zhàndòu (战斗) 77, U.S.-built cargo ship, Shanghai, 1983
Another view of 战斗77, Zhàndòu 77, which was built by Butler Shipbuilding, Superior, Wisconsin, U.S., in 1943.
1983 October 12.

U.S.-built cargo ship, Shanghai, 1983
战斗77, Zhàndòu 77, was built by Butler Shipbuilding, Superior, Wisconsin, U.S., in 1943.
The original name of this vessel was “Elkanah Crowell.”
I believe that the ship was named for (Captain) Elkanah Crowell (1793-1885), who was a Massachusetts (U.S.) merchant ship captain.
战斗, Zhàndòu,means “fight” or “battle.” This series of ships was later renamed as the 和平, Hépíng, series, “Hépíng” means “peace.”

战斗49, Zhàndòu 49, was built at Shanghai in 1959.
