The St. Charles line is historical, one of the oldest transit lines in the world, dating back to horsecars in the 1830s, yet it’s not just a tourist meme. Everyday commuters use it as well as out of towners gawking at the Garden District and going to party in the French Quarter. Newer lines have retro style cars but the shops keep fabricating parts for those 1920s Perley Thomas cars.
To circle back to OPs post, at one time New Orleans tested out a Philly PCC and both systems share the same 62 1/2” “Pennsylvania Broad Gauge”.
