Description
In this amazing photo I am only inches away standing on a metal bench at the stop at Lee Circle and Saint Charles Avenue. In this view you can see the beautiful wood chairs, there are also pull up or down light green window shades, the seats move forward or backward. When the Street Car reaches the end of the line the driver walks the entire length of the street car and reverses the seats as well as the electric cable guide which on on the front and the back of all the cars.
The New Orleans Street Car heads uptown from returning downtown.
The New Orleans Street Car line became also famous with the international author Tennessee Williams wrote his novel A Street Car Named Desire while living in New Orleans Louisiana
The New Orleans Louisiana Street Car is one of the oldest and continued operating electric transit cars running in the entire world. Originally operating in 1834, the New Orleans Street Car was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. The street cars at one time traveled throughout the entire city, including famous Bourbon Street and Royal Streets.
Because the cars are rare and some where sold elsewhere around the world machinist restore broken parts and manufacture the parts locally

Greetings Sean, thank you so much for viewing New Orleans Saint Charles Avenue Street Car In New Orleans it pleases me this photo appeals to you and I appreciate very much the generous comment, this particular image was taken with my Nikon which was destroyed and was never able to replace. I released the shutter as St. Car was moving away from the stop. Unless reflex I do not recall panning and then releases the shutter, only available light was metered. I was within inches when I released the shutter, it did create motion appeal. Cheers, from New Orleans, Michael Hoard

I love that you made it a tad darker and used a slow shutter which captures the feel of being in one of those carriages very well Michael.
