<strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Streetcar</strong> <strong>Line</strong> (<strong>LA</strong>) (<strong>Images</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong>) (Edward J. Branley) <strong>The</strong> clanging <strong>of</strong> a streetcar s bell conjures images <strong>of</strong> a time when street railways were a normal part <strong>of</strong> life in the city. Historic <strong>Canal</strong> Street represents the common ground between old and new with buses driving alongside steel rails and electric wires that once guided streetcars.<strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong> was one <strong>of</strong> the first cities to embrace street railways, and the city s love affair with streetcars has never ceased. <strong>New</strong> <strong>Orleans</strong>: <strong>The</strong> <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Streetcar</strong> <strong>Line</strong> showcases photographs, diagrams, and maps that detail the rail line from its origin and golden years, its decline and disappearance for almost 40 years, and its return to operation. From the French Quarter to the cemeteries, the <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Line</strong> ran through the heart <strong>of</strong> the city and linked the Creole Faubourgs with the new neighborhoods that stretched to Lake Pontchartrain.<br />
