Newscopy: "Remember the horse and buggy days song "On the Dummy Line?" This may have contributed to the song and story of the period, for it's a picture of the old dummy line that ran along Baker st. in 1900. They probably disguised an engine as an innocent cab so the horses wouldn't be frightened."
