Here are two versions of the same picture.  Notice how the lower picture has been edited (and before the days of computers), for example, by removing the little wagon behind the man in the center foreground.  The photographer was standing between St. Charles (behind) and Carondelet (ahead).  A Clio or Carondelet car at the left is starting across Canal into Bourbon Street, heading downtown.  This is another good view of the short section of the “five track” system which had no center track.
