This photo is again at Lee Circle. In a twist peculiar to
this location alone in America (or so I believe) the outbound and inbound
routes briefly share the same short stretch of track. It has to do with the logic
of traffic circles and one way
streets and it lasts for only a few feet. It is a strange event to contemplate
-- but an event
very much befitting, somehow, for New Orleans. This car is outbound,
and is leaving the one-way portion of St. Charles Ave. The
inbound route joins from the right, and then it will branch off again just a bit
further out
to reach Howard Ave. briefly, and then next to Carondelet St. |
