This extensively illustrated, 240-page volume documents the long and colorful history of streetcar transportation in the city of New Orleans. This reprint of a 1965 volume, written by the two leading authorities on the subject, represents the complete work on the subject of New Orleans traction and urban railways. Featured are sections on early city transportation, and the golden era of electric traction (1893-1926), along with technical aspects, trackage, and mileage routes. A series of maps pinpoints, for traction enthusiasts, the locations of tracks no longer extant and provides information on companies that once operated the network of rails. Also included is a special section on the types of cars that were used throughout the traction era. Authors Hennick and Charlton also have collaborated on a companion volume to this work, Street Railways of Louisiana , also published by Pelican.

"With a vibrantly painted exterior and bells alerting eager passengers of its arrival, the New Orleans streetcar is mor than a method of transportation; it is a symbol of the city's past moving forward into a bright future. The pictorial history documents the legacy of this icon, covering events that took place between 1964 and 2008. It recalls the day the streetcars were removed in favor of buses, the rejoicing heard around the city when they returned, and the years of restoration after weathering an infamous storm--Katrina. Technical information, explanations regarding the enginering of these intricate machines, nostalgic pictures, and personal anecdotes are peppered throughout each chapter. How the streetcar has become part of American culture, appearing in the famous movie 'A Streetcar Named Desiree' and frequently as souvenirs and memorabilia, is also depicted. A keepsake itself, this attractive book covers every aspect of the streetcar and will make a wonderful addition to the collection of aficionados or fans of New Orleans"--Page 4 of cover.

The clanging of a streetcar's bell conjures images of a time when street railways were a normal part of life in the city. Historic Canal Street represents the common ground between old and new with buses driving alongside steel rails and electric wires that once guided streetcars. New Orleans was one of the first cities to embrace street railways, and the city's love affair with streetcars has never ceased. New Orleans: The Canal Streetcar Line showcases photographs, diagrams, and maps that detail the rail line from its origin and golden years, its decline and disappearance for almost 40 years, and its return to operation. From the French Quarter to the cemeteries, the Canal Line ran through the heart of the city and linked the Creole Faubourgs with the new neighborhoods that stretched to Lake Pontchartrain.

The history of Louisiana from slavery until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 shows that unique influences within the state were responsible for a distinctive political and social culture. In New Orleans, the most populous city in the state, this was reflected in the conflict that arose on segregated streetcars that ran throughout the crescent city. This study chronologically surveys segregation on the streetcars from the antebellum period in which black stereotypes and justification for segregation were formed. It follows the political and social motivation for segregation through reconstruction to the integration of the streetcars and the white resistance in the 1950s while examining the changing political and social climate that evolved over the segregation era. It considers the shifting nature of white supremacy that took hold in New Orleans after the Civil War and how this came to be played out daily, in public, on the streetcars. The paternalistic nature of white supremacy is considered and how this was gradually replaced with an unassailable white supremacist atmosphere that often restricted the actions of whites, as well as blacks, and the effect that this had on urban transport. Streetcars became the 'theatres' for black resistance throughout the era and this survey considers the symbolic part they played in civil rights up to the present day.

Trolley Town USA: The Streetcars of New Orleans, is a collection of personal photographs I took of the city's streetcar system when I lived in the city from 1990 to 1991 and during a recent visit in February of 2019 to photograph the bars, lodgings, and restaurants lining the now five existing lines for another work. This book is exactly as is stated in its title; a collection of personal photographs of an historic streetcar system that I fell in love with as a young man and have only come to love even more as I have passed from youth to deep into middle age. I hope that you, the reader, enjoys looking at these pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them.
