The St. Charles Avenue Streetcar has returned after a two years, two months and 13 days absence. This historic line was established in 1835 using mules to pull each car. The line was briefly converted to steam and finally electrified in 1983. The Perley Thomas cars were added in 1923 and are still in use.
