What do y'all think is the busiest section of streetrunning track? I mean actual streetrunning not tracks in the median of a road like in ashland.

I would think UP on the Embarcadero in Oakland, CA; 2 main tracks in pavement, in mixed traffic with cross streets, used by Coast Starlight, Capitol Corridor, San Joaquin, and UP double-stack trains.
Michigan City. IN has got to be "in the running" with the C,SS,&SB operating trains (mostly passenger) down a busy street.
Also, Bedford, IN comes to mind; that is where the MILW's trackage over the L&N began for its access to Louisville. It was also the route, IIRC, of the Amtrak "Keycard" (Kentucky Cardinal).

Oakland is pretty busy but the city put up a billards on one side of the tracks but I guess it still counts.

All down 11th St., they ripped out one entire side of the street to provide room for the second main.
When it's a tie at the railroad crossing, you lose.
