Grand Opening Celebration
Ed Branley, webmaster of CanalStreetCar.com and author of New Orleans: The Canal Streetcar Line, along with his son, Kevin, stand in front of Von Dullen Car 2004, at the Grand Opening ceremonies for the Canal line, May 29th, 2004. Car 2004 was officially dedicated “The Patrick F. Taylor Streetcar,” in recognition of oilman Pat Taylor’s enormous contributions to the construction of the Canal line. Taylor Energy donated the pipe used to make the poles that run the length of Canal outside the CBD to support the electrical wiring. Thanks to Earl Hampton for taking this shot!
