 I remember riding with a Route 49 motorman who was tired of stopping at the 
same
 spot for the same illegally parked Ford pick up truck with a door mirror that
 blocked the streetcar's path. After he had to push the mirror against the 
truck's
 door several days in a row to pass, he finally braced himself in the 
stairwell of
 his 1600 and kicked the mirror off the brackets! He then shoved the brackets
 against the door with his foot. I was the only pasasenger onboard when that
 happened. He trusted me to keep quiet (which I did) and we both had a good 
laugh.

  HEY, THAT WAS MY TRUCK!    Just kidding Ken!   I always wondered if there 
was ever a situation where a vehicle blocked the path of a streetcar and 
nobody came to move it. What then? Local towing company? Or did PRCo or PAT 
tow it themselves?
