A. Phillip Randolph SIS

RTA’s massive Randolph SIS (Storage, Inspection, Service) facility, located at Canal and N. Gayoso Streets, is the permanent home for the streetcars of the Canal and Riverfront lines.

The Randolph facility was constructed on the site of the original Canal Street barn, first built in 1861 by the New Orleans City Railroad Company. The original barn serviced the Canal line throughout its entire lifespan, and was converted fully to a bus facility in 1964. The building was torn down in 1992 and the current facility was constructed.
