Streetcar
-
Streetcars or trolley(car)s — North American English for the European word tram — were once the chief mode of public transit in hundreds of North American cities and towns.
-
Most of the original urban streetcar systems were either dismantled in the mid-20th century or converted to other modes of operation, such as light rail.
-
The longest of New Orleans' streetcar lines, the St. Charles Avenue line, is the oldest continuously operating street railway system in the world.
