BOOK RECOMMENDATION:
"The Streetcars of New Orleans 1964-Present" by Earl W. Hampton, Jr. is essential for
anyone interested in public transportation. It continues the fascinating story of
New Orleans streetcars told in the original Hennick and Charlton volume "The
Streetcars of New Orleans." Earl is a bigger trolley fan than I am, and the book
reflects this love for the genre. Good coverage from 1964 to 2008 includes the demise
and return of the Canal streetcar line, specialty cars (like 29 and 453), the new
Riverfront line, and of course our favorite St. Charles streetcar. The wealth of
excellent photographs from Earl and others takes me back home to New Orleans.
