In NY, and in Chicago, and tokyo, and elsewhere i am sure, you can elpeep -- Elavated trains are often at the same height as 2 floor windows.. and as the train goes by each window, you have a scant second to peer into other lives.. sometimes you can do the same from the station platform waiting for a train.
this kind of view is used in the play Twelve Angry Men-- one of the witnesses to a crime witnessed it from an passing train...

Dear of troy: Sixty years ago the medical schools in Boston provided house visits by junior medical students to the slum areas. I delivered a baby in an upstairs front room with my back close to window because no other light available, and elevated train stopped at station outside, with passengers very much interested in proceedings. The patient said she didn't give a damn, none of the passengers knew her.
