Everything You Ever Wanted to Know...

Reviewer: R. D. Read
Extremely well documented, amply illustrated. This book is ideal for the serious student of New Orleans transit systems. The general public, or casual reader, will likely find the subject content over whelming.
The Quintessential Transit Book

Reviewer: Michael Strauch
Authors Charlton and Hennick wrote a masterpiece. This is the Bible for New Orleans streetcar history, with many facts, anecdotes, maps, and photographs. Every era up to 1965 is covered: the rise, heyday, and fall of animal, steam, and electric traction in Louisiana's largest city. It fills a gap in transit information by taking us beyond the famed St. Charles line.
