2014 passes 2018 on Canal at Royal. These new, but vintage looking cars were very smooth running and featured effective air conditioning. Good thing too as it was stinking hot!

Canal and Royal by night. After 10 pm and a break from the heat. It's finally under 80! The day tight day time headways are reduced at night, but there were still decent crowds to be had - though not quite like the St. Charles line.

2022 stops on Canal at Dauphine. Love that Walgreens neon! These cars ran very nicely and the track and overhead were in perfect condition. The downsides to the operation were the slow effective speeds due to the fare collection system, the maze of untransit friendly traffic lights on Canal St and the slow operation of the lifts.

On to the old cars. Luckily none of the 1924 Perley Thomas cars were lost to Katrina and today they provide a skeleton service on the Canal line while the infrastructure is rebuilt on the St. Charles line. 971 stops on St. Charles at Girod.

The photographer's wife has had enough railfanning for the day and has just boarded 933 at Carrollton and Maple an is heading back to the hotel. The yellow car stop signs with the fleur de lys on top are a great touch.

St. Charles Ave is lined with exceptionally elegant residences - though they are sometimes they hard to see through the trees. 905 stops in the Garden District at Washington street. No A/C on these cars just wide open windows.

The streetcars carried large crowds well into the night. There's a full boat here on St. Charles at Common just after 11 pm.

961 is loaded on Carondelet at Canal ready to go outbound.
