New Meets Old         
Only six of the new cars have been rebuilt after spending 2 weeks in 5 of water courtesy of Katrina; the 1923-24 Perley Thomas cars are still covering all three lines. I wonder how many New Flyer hybrid busses will be in revenue service in 2093.

Earl Hampton General Nice action shot! Your comment about the hybrid buses? I bet none will be around in 2023 much less 2093! These red homemade streetcars will probably outlast us. BTW the 972 was the last in service on the old Canal line back in 1964. Good catch pairing it up with a new red car!!!! Thanks for posting it. Check my posts on this site, you will see more streetcar shots. Best, Earl 2/26/2009 12:45:08 PM
