Louisville & Nashville train 34 – the northbound PIEDMONT – was preparing to leave New Orleans for New York City. The locomotives were E6A units 776 and 756; they had recently been renumbered from 456B and 456A but were still operating as a matched pair. At the other end of the station was a pedestrian overpass which ran from the end of the Canal Street streetcar line to the Mississippi River ferry boat landing on the left. It passed over the tracks of the L&N, Southern Pacific and New Orleans Public Belt. In 1950 the station was the site of the opening scene of the move A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE. |
