NOPSI Canal Station         
This land is still used to store streetcars, but it doesn’t look like this anymore! The New Orleans Public Service, Inc. (NOPSI) CANAL STATION and BUS GARAGE was in the 2900-block of Canal Street. (STATION was the NOPSI name for its vehicle service and storage facilities.) This property is now used by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority to service and store modern street cars, but this is what it looked like on 31 March 1955. Perley Thomas car 930 is parked outside with several of its siblings, while an unidentified new diesel-powered GM Model TDH-5105 and prewar gasoline-powered White Model 788 1459 are in the carbarn.
