Streetcar in New Orleans - Thursday's Challenge - Direction

Canal Streetcar, New Orleans

All going in the same "Direction."
New Orleans added this new red line and it runs on Canal Street to City Park and the Cemeteries. The St. Charles Avenue-Carrollton line is dark green, the traditional New Orleans Streetcar--not a tram, not a trolley---a streetcar.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

The "front" of these things depends on which direction you're going!
Phillip Normanton16-May-2009 10:51
Not much freedom to change direction if you're a tram :o)

I think t hat looks quite quaint even if it is new

not sure I like not seeing the old ones

Fine idea, there are similar trams ( we call them ) in Manchester, about 20 miles from here.

excellent!

Isn't that interesting, the differences between the red and green lines!? I'd like to feel the breezes, myself.

While Dan goes to the bakery, I'll pick-up some flowers.

It would be fun to ride a trolly! I haven't ridden ridden one since I was about 8 in the New Orleans. That one was definitely NOT air conditioned, but a great adventure for a girl.

Norbert Fortelny15-May-2009 08:10

Maaike Huizer15-May-2009 07:24

Dan Chusid15-May-2009 04:23
Hang on while I pop into the bakery...
Laryl15-May-2009 04:10
and getting directions from those lights.. cute street car

Air conditioned street cars? That's just wrong! What a wussy society we have become.
Cindi Smith15-May-2009 02:56
Let's hop on and take a cruise around! You know, I've been there so many times but have never ridden it!

Nice shot, Coleen, Great colors and composition.

Outstanding shot Coleen.

The red ones are the new ones and are air-conditioned. They do not have the sound or the sway of the green ones on the St. Charles line. The red ones have no personality--none whatsoever. On the St. Charles line you can sit by the open window and feel the breezes from the Mississippi River and smell the River.

From what we understand, the red ones are the newer (more modern) ones.

What a great streetcar Coleen!

Nice shot of a wonderful trolley, we rode one back in '93. Great direction Coleen.
