NORTA 450         
A pair of big Komatsu forklifts were had just removed New Orleans Regional Transit Authority car 450 off of a flatbed semitrailer and were about to lower it onto standard-gauge trucks for service on to the new RIVERFRONT car line. The car had just arrived from CARROLLTON STATION where they had been extensively overhauled. It had been built by the Perley A. Thomas Car Co. in 1924 as New Orleans Public Service 924. It went to Atlanta soon after the CANAL car line was discontinued in 1964 and returned to New Orleans in January 1986.
