Perley Thomas Car at City Park
Title:  Perley Thomas Car at City Park
Description:  Wont see a green car here in revenue service again for a long time, if ever; enough of the new cars are back in service that the Canal Street bus is gone, and with it the temporary ADA exemption that allowed the Saint Charles cars to cover the whole system during the rebuilding process.

Motorman on Saint Charles Avenue
Title:  Motorman on Saint Charles Avenue
Description:  Theres a wonderful variety of styles in working the controller among these men and women; this guy would practically start in notch 2, be in serial running after about a second, pause an instant, then apparently just get bored and swing it right around into parallel running! Its actually imressive how these 85 year-old cars can go when they open up.

Busy evening at Carrollton & Claiborne Avenues.
Title:  Busy evening at Carrollton & Claiborne Avenues.
Description:  The motorman of the car I just got off changes poles while the car behind us waits for a terminal track. 3:1 streetcar-to-bus ratio seems good to me.

Carrollton Station
Title:  Carrollton Station
Description:  Definitely the most accessible shops Ive ever seen. Just take the #12 St Charles car most of the way out from downtown and pull the cord when you see a single track veer off down the center of a small side street, then walk a block and a half. Its right in the middle of a relatively quiet neighborhood. Never saw a blue streetcar in New Orleans before, looks like a Riverfront car. Color-coded lines in the future?
