Hurricane Katrina destroyed the "new" street cars that were built for the restored Canal Street and City Park lines. The hurricane also destroyed the wiring along the St. Charles Stree line. As a result some of the St. Charles line cars are now running on the Canal Street line. |
 |
The isolated St. Charles Street car barn is nearly full of idled street cars. |
