Traceries also conducted onsite survey to document the line’s current condition and contributing resources, which include the route, the “neutral ground” median on which the line operates, the tracks, the streetcars, two buildings, and the associated electrical utility equipment. The St. Charles Line was designated a National Historic Landmark in May 2014.
