NORTA 450 |
Description: |
A pair of big Komatsu forklifts were preparing to remove New Orleans Regional Transit Authority car 450 off of a flatbed semitrailer (and its broad-gauge trucks) and on to the new RIVERFRONT car line. This car - along with the 451 - had just arrived from CARROLLTON STATION where they had been extensively overhauled. The 450 had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Co. in 1924 as New Orleans Public Service 924. It went to Atlanta soon after the CANAL car line was discontinued in 1964 and returned to New Orleans in January 1986. Both the forklifts and the truck were owned by the Southern Transfer Co. |

NORTA 450 and 451 |
Description: |
New Orleans Regional Transit Authority cars 450 (ex-New Orleans Public Service 924) and 451 (ex-919) had just been trucked to the new, standard-gauge RIVERFONT LINE and were parked on their storage tracks. This new line utilized a former Southern Pacific track, while the track next to it belonged to the CSX (originally Louisville & Nashville) and the track on the left was owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. RTA subsequently purchased the CSX line and rebuilt both tracks to broad (62½-inch) gauge. Local transit historian and CSX employee Earl Hampton was enjoying a cold drink on the left. |
