I think the send off should have been a regular freight train with a commerative caboose.

Now this is a good clip! I know street running has its dangers but there's something interesting and unique about it! When much of the street trackage was laid the population was only a fraction of what it is today, and street running therefore wasn't as risky as it might be today. And that track looks like it's been there for a while...

Why did they remove this track??
-
Why the police? To commemorate the sad occasion?
Did they take up the track, or does it remain in case a problem on the other track (derailment)?
When was the last REAL (freight) train on thatrack?
-
Awesome video!! There are still areas in Oregon with street tracks but I'm sure they too will eventually be removed.
-
I'm sure the people that lived in the houses near by came to hear that as a comforting sound.

South Shore Street Running through Michigan Cityby k9mq18,806 views
A few more side points concearning the removal of the street running trackage. Over the years there were many grade crossing accidents with automobiles and pedestrians on the tracks. Even though I personally miss seeing the trains run through the center of the street. Im sure the railroad is glad this part of the line was rerouted. The speed limit for trains on this part of the line was 15 mph for about a mile and a half of street running trackage.

The rail line through the middle of the City of Erie was removed a few years ago, it was in service for over 120 years and it was part of the mainline route that runs from Chicago Illinois, Cleveland Ohio to Buffalo New York. The takeover of Conrail made it possible to reroute the trains by building a line that follows along side the former New York Central rail line (now part of CSX) through Erie.
