Not many, but in my CERA book about the origins of the "L", a short vignette is included about cajoling a draft horse that escaped from the ice house off the North Side line's right-of-way.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

For a few more laughs, click on the story about the guy who drove his car under the platform and onto the tracks.
