Merry Christmas

Still in Noo Awlins for Christmas.

Appropriate for the time of year, NOPSI 934 in the snow on St. Charles Avenue on Dec. 31, 1963.


NORTA (New Orleans Regional Transit Authority) "New" cars 2001 and 2011 in the Carrollton shop almost totally restored this past October. They've been out on the line testing.


More new NORTA cars, 2009, 2010, and 2014 in the Carrollton Shops month before last.


Next week, the last of New Orleans.

Lee.  For some reason I'm getting the dreaded red X.

Funny, but your avatar, Bob, is coming up as a red X, too.

And Lee's image comes up alternately OK and red X.

A direct link seems to work.

I know what's wrong with my avatar, just too damn lazy to fix it.  Your direct link comes up as an error on my system.

Such are the mysteries of the Internet!

The photo is in a Picasa album...  The address I used seems to work on other sites, but I'll use the link address and thumbnail trick, since it seems to work on Railwire that way...

See if this works Lee:


I added "s800/" to it so it knew a size.

[Bob Bufkin]

Thanks Lee.  Works now.  Need to get a photo of NS around Chambersburg sometime.
P.S.  I also got the x over on the Atlas board.
