Rusty Draper - In the Middle of the House (1956) kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5jZgpx4n7uGY9U Charted at #20 on Billboard Hot 100 in September 1956. Original Billboard review: "Draper sells a folk-type novelty with solid showmanship and tongue-in-cheek humor. The tune is a funny take-off on the old gag about the house with a railroad track running through it. Milton Berle has cut the tune on Coral and Vaughn Monroe for Victor, but this platter is the one to beat." The version by Vaughn Monroe charted at #11 in September 1956 and was his last big hit. In the UK, the song charted at #20 for Alma Cogan in November 1956. Written by Bob Hilliard. The other side of this single is "Pink Cadillac".

Or the street was there before the railroad. Much of this *dates back to a time in our history* when trains moved much slower and towns wanted trains close for convenience. For many towns, the railroad replaced the stagecoach, wagon trains, and cargo pulled by horses. Towns worked hard to attract the railroad, which helped the towns to grow from the revenue generated by passenger and cargo traffic along with new residents. The railroads benefited from the increased stops for food, water, fuel, and additional passengers.

The city of NY did away with all street level trains in 1941 because so many people were killed by freight trains rolling about walking speed with bells ringing etc., even when the railroad hired cowboys on horseback to ride ahead of the engines waving a large red flag and shouting, the space cadets would STILL wind up under the wheels!!! 10th Ave where a track was, was nicknamed "Death Avenue" The big push came to ban the trains after a kid playing some game with friends climbed on a moving train and fell under the wheels and was ground into hamburger, the last cowboy on horseback leading the train run on 10th Ave was George Hayde on 3-29-1941 with his horse "Cyclone" and the tracks were removed. By 1908, the Bureau of Municipal Research claimed that since 1852, the trains had killed 436 people. A New York Times piece from the same year reported that in the preceding decade there had been almost 200 deaths, mostly of children. The city did, however, take certain precautions in the 1850s, setting an ordinance requiring a person on horseback to ride ahead of the train, making pedestrians and traffic aware of the train's nearing arrival. Known as West Side Cowboys, these legendary figures waved red flags and lanterns to warn those on street level. But these urban cowboys could not keep the hazard at bay, and the tracks remained a danger for city residents. In the late 1800s, neighborhood pressure resulted in the tracks further uptown moving below street level. South of Grand Central, however, the trains remained, and various incidents set off a series of protests against the street-level tracks. In 1894, a man who had lost a leg in an accident caused by the train set fire to a portion of the tracks, and in 1897, thieves took to the cars. Finally, in 1908, the death of a seven-year-old boy sparked mass action, as five-hundred people took to the streets to protest the hazardous conditions. In addition to the public discontent, the city pressured the railroad company to change its practices, ultimately refusing to accept the railroad's licensing fee in 1908. This tactic could not work for long, however, as the railroad was responsible for much of the food supply to the city, running along meat warehouses and grocery outlets. www.thehighline.org/blog/2015/10/22/the-history-of-death-avenue A video of a train rolling down the avenue with a cowboy in front appears here www.livinthehighline.com/the-original-urban-cowboy/

Yeah, I don't really blame the car owner. Not everyone knows exactly how wide a train in motion is and it doesn't look like there's much in the way of signage or paint telling people how/where to park. If the streets were better cleared of snow there would also be a little more room for people to make sure they are parked well away from the tracks. This is just poorly maintained and signed infrastructure, the railway and the city need to spend the minor amount of money and effort to improve things.

At the time, the Susquehanna still had two dome cars, a former CB&Q "Twin Zephyr" parlor-observation and a former UP lounge-observation rebuilt with a theater rear end (this car was called the "Popemobile", after the domed automobile used by Pope John Paul II).
