The Streetcar Named St. Charles
The St. Charles Avenue Streetcar in New Orleans is up and running again. The streetcar line (not the famous Desire Street line) is the oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the country (not counting the disruption caused by Hurricane Katrina), and the only one surviving from New Orleans original streetcar system. The line runs historic trolleys and passes through the Garden District popular with tourists. The city rightly identifies the trolleys as a tourist amenity, but they are also clearly a point of pride for NO residents.
