The Test Run - 2-Oct-2003

2017, just before 11am on 2-Oct-2003, at Canal and Baronne Streets. The car is on the outbound track, ready to head to the Cemeteries.

Passing the Ritz-Carlton Hotel (formerly the Maison Blanche building).

Moving outbound. Crossing Burgundy. The I-10 overpass at Claiborne is in the background.

Approaching the Randolph SIS facility between White and Gayoso streets.

Approaching Carrollton Avenue.

Beth Branley, Marketing and Public Relations Manager for NORTA, in the operator’s chair. Don’t worry, Elmer had the key. :-)

Day-care kids at Grace Episcopal Church greeting 2017.

At the Cemeteries terminal. The BPOE tumulus in Greenwood Cemetery across the street can be seen in the background.

Changing over for the return trip. The test was a complete success.
