You guys are good. As an old Oaktown native, I was going to say 3rd & Frankin as well.
The PRODUCE guys used to have a lot of fights with WP railroad people. There are a lot of documented cases. I'm sure it happened during the days of the Zephyr, Zephyrette, and other trains. Third Street was double track with an occasional spur here and there. It was a great street to take your favorite automobile and partake in the art of "McNitting" down the right-of-way. I did that--all the way to 5th Avenue--then got out of the area quick..
