New Orleans Public Service car 927 was outbound on the CANAL line on Canal Street. It was stopped at the intersection with Burgundy Street on the left and University Place on the right, with the Maison Blanche Building on the other side of the car. At that time, there were still four tracks on the median of Canal Street from the Mississippi River to Rampart Street, even though there were only two car lines left. The 927 had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Works in 1924 and was scrapped on 12 June 1964, right after the CANAL car line had been replaced with buses. The white light on the traffic signal indicated that streetcars could cross the intersection. |
