Picture 7-2.

At the outer end of Napoleon Ave., the streetcar line ran along the Broad St. neutral ground the short distance to Washington Ave., then out Washington to Carrollton on tracks between the roadway and the New Basin Canal, eventually finding its way out to Metairie Road and into Jefferson Parish.  Long before this picture of car 969 was taken on March 18, 1949, the Napoleon line had been cut back to this point at Broad and Washington.  In this picture, the car has changed ends in preparation for its next inbound trip, and the conductor is loading passengers from what is now the left front door.
