Will the trolleys begin running along St. Charles in Uptown again? |
Travel Info We were there Sunday-Tuesday and they were not running. Is there any plan for them to get back up & running?? Travel Tips i believe sometime next year from the RTA website "St. Charles Streetcar Line Update The Central Business District loop of the St. Charles streetcar line (from Carondelet and Canal Streets to Lee Circle) resumed operation on December 19, 2006, 7 days a week, from 9 am to 6 pm. The 1920s St. Charles Perley Thomas streetcars are also running on both the Canal Street line and the Riverfront line. Because all 24 candy-apple red Canal Street streetcars and six of the seven Riverfront streetcars were flooded after Hurricane Katrina, the historic green cars, which all survived, are running on both of these lines. To enjoy the attractions on St. Charles Avenue and Carrollton Avenue, take the RTA St. Charles bus, which operates on the same route that the St. Charles streetcars did before Katrina. For route and schedule information, access the Routes section on this Web site. The overhead electrical system was heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Although work has begun on replacing the poles, pole foundations, and the overhead electrical system on the St. Charles Line, the complete project will not be finished until spring 2008. RTA expects to have an extension to the service to St. Charles and Napoleon operating by Fall 2007. " Source(s): norta.com Other Travel Tips Yes, they will, and in New Orleans they are called STREETCARS, NOT trolleys. The Saint Charles streetcar is running on Canal Street and the riverfront. The RTA still has a lot of work to do on repairing the Saint Charles Avenue streetcar power lines due to the flooding from Katrina. The St. Charles Avenue route is scheduled to be up and running again in early 2008. I'm a New Orleans tourguide |
