NOPSI 903 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service CANAL LINE car 903 had just run around the loop at the foot of Canal Street. The photo was taken from the pedestrian viaduct which crossed several railroad tracks and provided unobstructed access to the ferry landing on the Mississippi River. The black sedan with the white circular emblem that was parked to the left of the 903 belonged to a NOPSI supervisor who was overseeing operations at this end of the line. Car 903 was built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Works in 1923 and was still in operation on the ST. CHARLES LINE in 2021. |
