Re; The wrong side of the tracks.

I have argued the case of the above mentioned phrase. Has been miss interpreted and wrongly used.

I believe this ‘saying’ precedes The Railroads and does not refer to other well known tracks.

The real reference dates back to pre Victorian Country Squires And Farmers.
