Under the Oaks of Saint Charles
There's a whole lotta history, and a whole lotta green in this classic New Orleans scene. It's a perfect evening as car 947 makes another outbound run towards the Canal Street loop in downtown. If you go back 100 years you'd see this car doing the same thing, at the same place, at the same time. The New Orleans Perley Thomas Streetcars are a testament to the power of preservation. Seeing these 100 year old streetcars in daily service in 2023 is nothing short of a miracle. The neutral ground these cars run on is a preservation miracle as well, as the Saint Charles line is the oldest operating streetcar trackage in the world. It all started here nearly 200 years ago...
Thanks for looking!
