Snapshots from the past

The storm surge from hurricane Katrina would have submerged the trolley wire in this picture, if not for the teeny detail that the Gulfport & Mississippi Coast Traction Company was busified in 1926. Oddly enough, the replacement busses still operate as CTA route #34 (Biloxi Pass Road) between Gulfport and Biloxi, and #5 (a dial-a-ride service?) between Gulfport and Pass Christian.
