| New Orleans Public Service, Inc. car 916 was outbound on the JACKSON LINE on Dryades Street approaching Jackson Avenue. Overhead was a maze of wires for both streetcars and the new trackless trolleys which were about to replace them. The JACKSON cars were replaced by gasoline-powered buses on 19 May 1947, and these were replaced by electric buses on 2 October 1947. The double overhead wires here would be used by both JACKSON and FRERET route trackless trolleys. The 3-story brick building in the background was the Spaulding Business College. It had been built for the Louisiana Industrial Life Insurance Co., and it was still standing in 2020. |
