NOPSI 1017 |
| Description: |
Five months before the U.S. entered WWII, St. Claude Line car 1017 was stopped on North Rampart Street at Canal Street in New Orleans, waiting to "change ends" and head back downriver to St. Bernard Parish. The Rubenstein's store on the right was in the Saenger Theater building, across Canal Street from the Loew's. New Orleans Public Service Inc. 1000-1019 were built in 1928, and were the last cars purchased by NOPSI. Unlike the earlier cars 800-972, these had smaller wheels (26 vs. 33-inch) and four 35 HP motors instead of two 65 HP. These cars spent most of their lives on the St. Claude Line, which ended at the American Sugar refinery in Chalmette, and were all scrapped in 1949 after being replaced by buses. (approximate day) |

NOPSI 1017 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service car 1017 was inbound on the ST. CLAUDE line in the 100-block of North Rampart Street, with the New Orleans Athletic Club building in the background. This car line was replaced by gasoline-powered buses on 1 January 1949, about a year after this photo was taken. Car 1017 had been built by the St. Louis Car Co., in 1926 and was scrapped in 1949, soon after the closure of this car line. (approximate date of photo) |
