NORTA 450 and 451
Title:  NORTA 450 and 451
Description:  New Orleans Regional Transit Authority cars 450 (ex-New Orleans Public Service 924) and 451 (ex-919) had just been trucked to the new, standard-gauge RIVERFONT LINE and were parked on their storage tracks. This new line utilized a former Southern Pacific track, while the track next to it belonged to the CSX (originally Louisville & Nashville) and the track on the left was owned by the New Orleans Public Belt. RTA subsequently purchased the CSX line and rebuilt both tracks to broad (62½-inch) gauge. Local transit historian and CSX employee Earl Hampton was enjoying a cold drink on the left.
