Many years ago in BC, there was a rail right-of-way that ran along through a good number of residential properties in North and West Vancouver, along the waterfront. Since the route was not installed for many years, people became complacent and built up to and, in some cases, on the right-of-way. Then the Pacific Great Eastern started building.
There was a song popular in 1956: “The railroad comes through the middle of the house…”
And Len Norris, the popular Vancouver Sun cartoonist had lots of fun lampooning the PGE and the homeowners.
