There is somewhere in Queensland, Australia similar to above photos, possibly Townsville or Rockhampton (apologies to locals if its neither!). Also a quick google images search for Michigan City, Indiana should be interesting

The most famous of the current sections of mainline 'street running' that remain here in the USA is near the Amtrak station at Jack London Square in Oakland, CA.
CN also has a several block long section of mainline street running on their ex WC, exx UP, nee CNW trackage in Oconto, WI. Mike |

On the South Side of Chicago, the electric trains run in the median of a street but they have their own right of way.

THe above photo is Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.
Bundaberg also has some on street running. Both are on the main line from Brisbane to Cairns. There is also a small town in western Victoria with trains in the main street. Can't remember the town's name, but the street is called Broadway.
