Randolph SIS
I didn't get really good shots of Randolph. They were moving a bunch of buses around, and even though the security gate wasn't manned, I didn't want to go in without permission.
Looking in from the Bienville Street entrance. Three 2000-series and one 400-series streetcars are visible in the barn. It appears that the neighborhood got 4'-6' of water, which means all of the cars in the barn would have been flooded. Flooding to that extent means a lot of damage to the Brookville and Tatra trucks, as well as the electrical systems in general.
This PT Cruiser is parked on Bienville St., right outside the Randolph wall. The water line on the car goes up to the top of the tail lights.
Two homes across the street from Randolph on Bienville. You can see the water line on the houses, and it appears that the cars were almost completely covered. Now, visualize the streetcars sitting in that much water.
