I spotted this photo at My Link page Tom's Trolleybus Pictures, wich is located to the right of Your computer screen.

The city of New Orleans Louisiana, is known for many things in local transportation like, the sternwheel steamboat Natchez, open horse and carriage rides in the French Quarter, the St Charles Avenue electric streetcar line, and any number of local Taxi Cab Livery companies.

New Orlean's predecessor public transit company from many years ago known as the New Orleans Public Service Company or "NOPSI" as it was nicknamed, operated a fleet of electric trolley buses from December 2nd 1929, until March 26th 1967. Known as "Trackless Trolleys", these buses operated on 600 Volts DC via overhead wires much like the electric streetcars, but rode on rubber tires. These machines were quiet operating, and did not emit air pollution. They were an economical alternative when introduced, but high maintenance and infrastructure costs eventually did them in at many of the North American citties that they operated in.

This very striking red and white New Orleans Public Service Company Marmon Herrington trolley bus, is viewed at the corner of Canal and Rampart Street during the 1960's.
