A former New Orleans city streetcar shuttling hotel guests. The Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. Chattanooga Tennesee USA. May 1990.

Former New Orleans Public Service 1920's era electric streetcar shuttling hotel patrons.

I took this photo on a May 1990 motorcoach family vacation I had went on
to the Smokey Mountains, in the States of Tennesee and North Carolina.
Part of the enjoyable experience, was a stay in downtown Chattanooga
Tennesee at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. The hotel, is the
former Chattanooga Union Station. With displays of antique railroad
equipment, old passenger sleeping cars on the former platform tracks
and an operating former New Orleans Public Service Company 1920's era
electric streetcar...It was an enjoyable stay for this Chicago railfan.

The yellow electric double ended standard electric streetcar, performs
shuttle duty for visiting hotel guests on the property.
