I have received quite a number of responses to the first day’s journal of my trip to New Orleans to take a look at the trolley system here. It’s interesting to hear from some of our readers who are a little older and remember the trolley rides (usually with family and friends) with a fair amount of nostalgia. For them, this mode of transportation meant a lot more than just getting from point A to point B. It was about the clanging of the bell, the clacking of the wheels across the seams in the tracks, and the sights and smells of places and things that they passed. The trolley didn’t isolate people as much as today’s buses do from the real beat of the street and therefore allowed riders to connect more with the city around them.
