Title:
NOPSI Streetcars
Description:
There were no less than four New Orleans Public Service Inc. streetcars in this view at the foot of Canal Street, which was then the city's main thoroughfare. This was the end of the line, where the cars turned and awaited their next run. The elevated walkway behind the cars provided pedestrian access over Southern Pacific, Louisville & Nashville and New Orleans Public Belt tracks to the Mississippi River ferry landing. The turret on the other side of the walkway was on the L&N station and the roof next to it was the L&N trainshed. The opening scene of the 1951 movie A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, where Blanche DuBois gets off of a train, was filmed at this station. (approximate month and day)

Title:
NOPSI 927
Description:
New Orleans Public Service car 927 was outbound on the
CANAL
line on Canal Street. It was stopped at the intersection with Burgundy Street on the left and University Place on the right, with the Maison Blanche Building on the other side of the car. At that time, there were still four tracks on the median of Canal Street from the Mississippi River to Rampart Street, even though there were only two car lines left. The 927 had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Works in 1924 and was scrapped on 12 June 1964, right after the
CANAL
car line had been replaced with buses. The white light on the traffic signal indicated that streetcars could cross the intersection.
