NOPSI 930         
New Orleans Public Service JACKSON AVENUE car 930 was inbound on Dryades Street. It had just passed St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, a local landmark, and was turning onto Howard Avenue. This car line was replaced with gasoline-powered buses on 19 May 1947, about two weeks after this photo was taken, and these were replaced with electric buses about five months later, on 2 October 1947. Car 930 had been built by Perley Thomas in 1924 and has never been retired.
