The back yards were adjacent to the right-of-way; think Brighton Line.The City/TA was slow to give up the right-of-way, as is fairly common for railroad property, so the right-of-way remained substantially intact for decades, notwithstanding that some people extended their back yards illegally. You can still fairly easily trace the right-of-way in Google Maps Satellite view. |
