	Carrollton, Louisiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Avenue Streetcar running on the "neutral ground" or central median.
		As Carrollton Avenue extends further inland beyond Claiborne, some people (especially from other parts of New Orleans) sometimes think of that area as part of Carrollton as well; sometimes the phrase "Old Carrollton" is used to refer to the stricter boundaries.
		The neighborhood and Avenue are pronounced "Care-ol-ton" by residents and other uptowners, but many people from the downtown parts of New Orleans (especially those born in the mid 20th century and earlier) pronounce the names as "Karl- ton".

	Straight Up Jan Herman:
		At one time New Orleans was covered with streetcar tracks, but now only the St. Charles streetcar remains in service.
		It runs a short distance down Canal, the full length of St. Charles through the Garden District, past Loyola and Tulane and Audubon Park, then along what is probably one of the most beautiful streets in the world.
		Charles and the esplanade in its center are covered by a canopy of enormous oak trees and lined on each side by old, iron-scrolled brick homes and antebellum mansions with columned porches and pike-fenced yards with hibiscus, blooming myrtle and oleander, bamboo, and giant philodendron.

	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Blake Pontchartrain 12 10 02
		This photo of the St. Charles Avenue streetcar -- with its cowcatcher and two-conductor operating system -- was taken in 1920, the year the Desire Line began running.
		Streetcar No. 453 is sitting in the Carrollton Transit Station, aka the "streetcar barn." It is in such a state of disrepair -- even its number is missing -- that it will take a least $1 million to put the car back in condition.
		On its run, the streetcar picked up all sorts of folks; among them were residents of Bywater and Faubourg Marigny, shoppers from Royal Street, and fun seekers from the bars and nightclubs in the French Quarter.

		The new Canal Streetcar Line tied into the existing Riverfront Streetcar Line from Esplanade Avenue to Canal Street and along Canal Street from the Mississippi River to a streetcar terminal at City Park Avenue and the Cemeteries.
		Where 235 miles of streetcar tracks once formed a lace across the city’s streets most of the tracks were ultimately paved over, as noxious buses became the standard.
		However, the 46 streetcars’ double-hung windows can easily be opened to emit the cooling breezes generated by the moving cars so it’s always a comfortable ride.

	The Newsletter of the Pikes Peak Historical Street Railway Foundation
		Supposedly, because some form of streetcar operated in New Orleans almost 60 years before the introduction of the electric streetcar, local residents were determined that their streetcars would not be referred to as trolleys.
		Streetcar system expansion, according to RTA, was meant to alleviate city traffic congestion, provide greater transit access for the disabled, and to comply with the Clean Air Act of 1991.
		The term “trolley” is unique to electric streetcars because a trolley is actually the device used to transmit electricity from the overhead wire to the motor.
