New Orleans Public Service cars 915 and 918 were at the outer end of the original CANAL car line, on Canal Street at City Park Avenue. Both of the cars had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Works in 1924. The 915 is still in service on the ST. CHARLES line in 2020, while the 918 was sold to the Greater High Point Civic Center & Museum Corporation in North Carolina right after the CANAL car line was discontinued in 1964. The Perley Thomas cars had been built in High Point and there was a plan to display the car there; but this never happened and the car was donated to the North Carolina Transportation Museum near Salisbury in 1978. |
