Perley A. Thomas car (vintage 1924), idling on Canal Street in front of Canal Station, waiting for the operator for the next shift:

(clicky the photo for a larger version)

932 had just completed a "switchback" operation. Because the operator was waiting for his replacement to come out of the station, he was idling on the outbound track. The new operator didn't come out right away, though, so 932 had to switch off to the inbound track. But then 971 was running down Canal inbound, so 932 had to switch back. We caught the 932-971 switch here.
