| This was the rear of New Orleans Public Service’s CANAL STATION as seen from Bienville Avenue at the corner of North White Street. The trolleybuses on the left and in the middle were built by Marmon-Herrington on 1949 for service on the CITY PARK and ST. CLAUDE routes, and were always based here; while the ones on the right had been built by the St. Louis Car Co. in 1947 for operation on the FRERET and JACKSON lines, and were initially based at ARABELLA STATION before being reassigned here. In the center background, on the other side of Iberville Street, was CANAL line streetcar 930. Streetcars were parked on the other side of Iberville, behind these buses. Unlike all of these buses, car 930 was still in service in 2020, on the ST. CHARLES line. (approximate date of photo) |
