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?
