Museums in Motion - The New Orleans Streetcar: Episode 32

New Orleans is home to the second earliest streetcar system in the United States (second only to NYC), opening in 1835. It has a long history of steam, horse power, desegregation and resegregation, gadgetbahn electrification systems, labour disputes, consolidation, and more. One of the original lines, the St. Charles line, holds the title of oldest continuously operating streetcar line in the world. We talk about the city, its streetcars, where they are now, and what they could be in the future.
