There were three trams, Ron: 452 (ex-626), 454 (ex-SW2 478), and 455 (ex-331.)

When the went to Memphis, they retained the New Orleans numbers. 452 is the unfortunate tram that burnt up in Memphis.

Here are pics oof all of them, in order.

1. 452 (ex-626) passing Perley Thomas 450 at Conti. Doors were only on the land side of the tram originally. February 21, 1989.



Another view of 452, at Poydras. After the 1990 line rebuilding, sliding doors were added t the river-facing side of the tram. March 1, 1991.


454 passing the little yard east of Canal Station. February 17, 1989.


455 and 456 at the Calliope Yard (wet end of the line). March 2, 1991. Perley Thomas 456 later got its orignal number, 952, back and went to San Francisco. March 2, 1991.
