N'Orleans St. Charles streetcar is back


NEW ORLEANS — Streetcars began running on the city's famed St. Charles line Tuesday for the first time since Hurricane Katrina knocked them out of service, but they aren't going far.
The Regional Transit Authority put two cars back on track for a 1.2-mile loop between Canal Street and Lee Circle. Before Katrina, 17 cars were in service on that line.

Hopefully, by April more of the tracks will be repaired. Looking forward to using it again during Jazzfest.

While that's good news, a million bucks to fix one street car???? Now who's foolin' who...?
