Pictures 13, 13.5, 14, 15, and 16.

Car 453 under shelter in the French Quarter. The first two photos show opposite ends of the car. The “motormen” are employees of the Louisiana State Museum: the man in the fourth picture is Byron Pulley, and the fifth picture shows a Jim whose last name the authors do not know. The roll signs seen here are the originals. — Top four photos by author Hampton, bottom photo by Louisiana Tourist Development Commission
