     I see (and hear) this all time.     
     People are in their own little cocoon and oblivious to the outside world.   
     And then you have cars that pulsate due to the loud music inside it.

     At one time radio's in cars where viewed as a safety hazard.  Drivers   
   would be paying more attention to the program than the road.

     There's another set of tracks that go from the CSX mainline to the old   
   B&O line where cars are shuttled back and forth.   
     One will have a long train so past, ever so slowly.     
     The last car is seen, drivers get ready to move, then the train stops   
   with the last couple of cars still blocking the street and will sit there for   
   some time.  ==sigh==
