Trains in the Street

A reader recently sent me the link to this post, on a blog called Jalopnik, about how trains once shared the way with automobiles and pedestrians on Tenth Avenue in New York City. 

In 1929, the tracks on Tenth Avenue were elevated, and today, the High Line has been transformed into a park.

Check out the comments on Michael Ballaban's blog post to learn about other American cities that, like Hudson, still have train tracks through the heart of the city.
