A pair of big Komatsu forklifts had just lowered New Orleans Regional Transit Authority car 450 onto standard-gauge trucks for service on the new RIVERFRONT car line. The 450 had just arrived from CARROLLTON STATION on a flatbed semi-trailer. The car had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Co. in 1924 as New Orleans Public Service 924 and went to Atlanta soon after the CANAL car line was discontinued in 1964. It returned to New Orleans in January 1986. |
