Two New Orleans Public Service vehicles were stopped on Willow Street at South Carrollton Avenue. LEONIDAS bus 1746 was a White Motor Co. MODEL 788 built in 1948 and was making a regular stop, while TULANE car 868 was on its way from the Carrollton Car Barn to South Carrollton Avenue. It had been built by the J.G.
