Streetcar in New Orleans-March 1974
With 3"-5" inches of snow and freezing temperatures in New Orleans making the news right now I thought it would be a good time to post these old photos
They were all taken by me at age 13 while on a spring break trip with my family to New Orleans while in middle school. My trusty Kodak Hawkeye Instamatic camera was used once again. We took Amtrak down from Chicago but fortunately flew back home as the train ride down in coachwas LONG and grueling while battling a cold.
My railfan father and I wanted to catch the New Orleans streetcars as at the time they were some of the last survivors in the country and before the revival of streetcars and light rail that was still in the future.
Cleaned up as much as possible using Photoshop Elements. Found in old sleeves of prints.
