Car 952 returned home to New Orleans in March 1990.  In the top picture, the car has just been trucked to Carrollton Station, and the rig is waiting in Jeanette St. to be unloaded.  In the middle picture, the car has been lifted off the trailer, and is being settled onto the rails.  In the bottom picture, it is being nudged gently into the car barn.  This car would become Riverfront car 456, and still later would be restored as 952 and sent on long-term loan to the San Francisco heritage fleet.  (It is therefore perhaps the most traveled of all the Perley Thomas cars.) — Photos by Earl Hampton
