Great tidbits!

[Dietrich, Robert J.]

Then again sometimes they would just shove the broken car over to the
inbound track just as an inbound car was passing :).

gouged out the street making it rough for those buses.

	Yes - that was / is extremely common.  Rarely anything in front of a
broken down car to pull so the one coming up behind has to push.  If
there is ever a possibility of turning another car to come in front of
the broken down car, that can be done and has been done.  Either way it
is a strain, esp on hills.
