This vintage postcard shows a bridge that appears to be an exact replica of the Wyman Park Drive Bridge but is labeled Cross Country Boulevard Bridge over Stony Run, Hamilton, near Baltimore Md. However, Cross Country Blvd travels along the Western Run, not Stony Run, and is in northwest Baltimore, not the northeast like Hamilton. I believe the postcard is mislabeled as sometimes happened.
Most intriguing, the postcard appears to show something akin to the Huntingdon Avenue Streetcar Viaduct viewed through the bridge's archway: https://bridgehunter.com/md/baltimore-city/bh70164/
However, your online write up indicates that the Wyman Park Drive Bridge was built in 1920 and this postcard was postmarked 1914. What proof do you have of the construction date of the bridge? It likely was built before 1914 as the Olmsted Brothers laid out the design and grading of Wyman Park Drive in 1909 per this site plan: https://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/speccol/sc5300/sc5339/...

If it helps, here is a plan of lower Wyman Park c.1911 that shows all the various bridges, the Stony Run stream in blue and the Ma & Pa railroad line in purple. The green arrow shows where the image in the vintage postcard from the last post might have been taken from. (North is up)
