Throughout the Bronx there are elevated subways tracks. A lot fewer than there were in the 60's but you can still see the train travel in the air above the streets and into the windows of those unfortunate enough to live in the shadow of the El.
Funny thing but a variation of the El is behind some pretty expensive real estate in Riverside and Greenwich CT. Today I happened to be in a house in Riverside and as I looked out the window I could see commuters on the 7:04 to Grand Central. Trains pass back and forth through this highly sought after neighborhood and people put up with the Amtrak and Acella to Boston. Trains going north and south rumble through backyards with swimming pools, and gazebos, with homes that command 1.5-3.0 million! All for the sake of location, location, location.
