NOPSI Cars |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service Inc. cars were gathered at the foot of Canal Street, near the Mississippi River, awaiting their turn to depart. TULANE line car 410 was one of 50 cars built by the Southern Car Co. in 1915 for a predecessor of NOPSI. It had a CAR HOUSE sign up, and would be retired the next year; while CEMETERIES car 873 was built by Brill in 1922. Notice the clever "194-7UP" ad on the 410, while car 873 was promoting rival Royal Crown Cola. |

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.

| Description: |
This land is still used to store streetcars, but it doesn’t look like this anymore! The New Orleans Public Service, Inc. (NOPSI) CANAL STATION and BUS GARAGE was in the 2900-block of Canal Street. (STATION was the NOPSI name for its vehicle service and storage facilities.) This property is now used by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority to service and store modern street cars, but this is what it looked like on 31 March 1955. Perley Thomas car 930 is parked outside with several of its siblings, while an unidentified new diesel-powered GM Model TDH-5105 and prewar gasoline-powered White Model 788 1459 are in the carbarn. |

The 952 was in service until the original CANAL car line was discontinued in 1964, and was then sold to the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. It was subsequently resold to the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hotel, where it was used for several years, and returned to New Orleans in March 1990. Here, it was rebuilt, renumbered 456 and used on the new RIVERFRONT line until 1997, then it was restored as NOPSI 952 and sent to the San Francisco Municipal Railway in 1998 in exchange for cable car no. 59. |

NOPSI 954 |
| Description: |
This photo was taken at the outer end of New Orleans Public Service's St. Charles Line, on South Carrollton Avenue at South Claiborne. Car 954 was just beginning its trip to the Central Business District. Tulane Route AM General bus 438 would also be going to the CBD, but via a different direction. In the background, car 907 was moving up to take the 954's place at the end of the line. Car 962 was already at the bumper, but the motorman hadn't yet reversed its poles for the inbound trip back to Canal Street. |

NOPSI 961 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service, Inc. JACKSON LINE car 961 was inbound in the 100-block of South Rampart Street. This photo was taken shortly before the JACKSON cars were replaced gasoline-powered buses on 19 May 1947, and these were replaced with electric buses on 2 October 1947. Those trackless trolleys are long gone, but car 961 was still in service on the ST. CHARLES LINE in 2020. The Higgins Industries Building in the background was actually the PYTHIAN TEMPLE at 234 Loyola, which Higgins leased during WWII. |

NOPSI 1008 |
| Description: |
New Orleans Public Service ST. CLAUDE LINE car 1008 was on North Rampart Street at Conti on the line’s last day of streetcar operation. This was one of 20 cars which arrived in 1926, and they were the last streetcars purchased by NOPSI. Unlike most of NOPSI’s cars – which only had two motors – cars 1000-1019 had four. These cars were used on several lines until April 1935 when they were assigned exclusively to the ST. CLAUDE LINE, and all 20 were scrapped soon after they were replaced by buses on the day after this photo was taken. Mossy Oldsmobile was at 420 North Rampart from 1934 until 1956, when it moved to 1331 South Broad Street |
