MARMON 1346:
Marmon 1346 and St. Louis 1171 at Canal Station in a Bill Volkmer slide dated December 22, 1959.
One photo added 03/04/19.
MARMON 1352:
Marmon 1352 on the Freret trolley coach line turns at Canal St. and St. Charles Ave. on an unspecified date.
Overhead wiring shows the positive single wire of the St. Charles streetcar feeding into the right hand wire of the
trolley coach pair. There was a reverser that switched positive and negative feeds before and after the wires met,
because TCs normally ran with positive current on the left and negative on the right.
Photo by H.J. Leinbach from the collection of H. George Friedman added 07/25/12.
MARMON 1353:
Marmon 1353 on the Broadway trolley coach line inbound at Broadway and St. Charles Ave. on November 28, 1964. Scan of a Bill Volkmer
slide from my collection added 07/11/19.
MARMON 1357:

slide from my collection added 07/11/19.
Marmon 1357 on the Magazine trolley coach line upbound at Magazine St. and Joseph St. on November 28, 1964. Scan of a Stephen M. Scalzo

GMC New Look bus follows. Scan of a Bill Volkmer slide from my collection added 07/11/19.
MARMON 1360:
Marmon 1360 at the Magazine trolley coach terminal at Audubon Park on an undetermined date. Magazine and Broadway
coaches did their layovers here. Photo from the H. George Friedman collection added 12/23/13.
MARMON 1362:
Marmon 1362 on the Magazine trolley coach line upbound at Magazine St. and Jackson Ave. on November 18, 1964. A pair of wires
begins here to "switch" coaches to turn onto Jackson, but there are no frogs seen and the direction of turn does not suggest
a deadheading trip from Arabella Station further up Magazine. Scan of a Bill Volkmer slide from my collection added 07/11/19.
Marmon 1362 on the Magazine trolley coach line downtown bound at Magazine and Octavia Sts. on November 28, 1964 in a scan of
a slide from my collection. At left is T. Zoller Tailor and Mark's Barber Shop, at right are drinking establishments and markets.
In particular, Vaccaro's Seafood Market & Grocery has a pickup truck parked in front with a sign that
advertises frog legs, crabs, shrimp, crayfish (interesting spelling for New Orleans), and rabbits.
Signs for Busch Bavarian Beer, Budweiser Beer, Falstaff Beer, and Barq's Root Beer are visible.
In the distance is the peak of the roof of Arabella Station, where these trolleys were housed. Another coach
can just be seen in the further distance at right. Possible photo credit to Bill Volkmer, who shot a number
of trolley coach photos on this date. Three photos added 12/09/12.
MARMON 1364:
Marmon 1364 on run 46 (the numeric indicators in the headsign were never used for route numbers) of St. Claude to Lizardi at
North Rampart and Canal Sts. on an undetermined date. Lizardi was a short turn of coaches once they crossed the Industrial Canal
drawbridge on St. Claude; I believe the turnback was designed to meet Barracks feeder buses.
Scan of a duplicate slide by Thompson Productions (commercial rights reserved) added 12/23/13.
Marmon 1364 on the Jackson line upbound at Baronne and St. Joseph Sts. (Howard Ave.) on November 28, 1964. Two tracks lead into the
foreground of the slide; these used to carry the St. Charles and Tulane Belts until 1952 and were still used for emergency reroutes for
many years. There's also a track turning right onto outbound Howard Avenue; the Jackson streetcar used this to reach Dryades St. (now
O'Keefe Ave.). One photo added 03/22/14.
MARMON 1368:
Marmon 1366 on the Jackson line crosses under the Pontchartrain Expwy. (Greater New Orleans Bridge approach)
on November 28, 1964. Slide by Stephen M. Scalzo from my collection added 02/28/23.
MARMON 1369:
Marmon 1369 on the Magazine line at Magazine St. and Jackson Ave. on November 28, 1964. Scan of a Stephen M. Scalzo
slide added 02/28/23.
MARMON 1373:

slide added 02/28/23.
Marmon 1373 on the Magazine line just passed Nashville Ave. bound for Audubon Park on November 28, 1964.
Scan of a Stephen M. Scalzo slide added 02/28/23.
MARMON 1375:
Marmons 1375 and 1359 lay over at the Audubon Park terminal on April 29, 1964. The former is signed for Magazine and the latter apparently Broadway, which
route was replaced with motor coaches December 13, 1964. Scan of an uncredited slide added 07/23/20.
OTHER MARMON PICTURES:
The chief focus of this slide of indeterminate date is the American Sugar Refinery (Domino Sugar) in Arabi. The inclusion of the slide on
this page, however, concentrates on the Marmon TC-48 trolley coach (1342-1380 series) on the loop of the St. Claude line. Overhead wiring
is visible as is the aluminum painted roof of the bus. Two photos from a slide in my collection added 03/30/13.
An assortment of Marmon and St. Louis trolley coaches, with White 788 buses in the background, rest
at Canal Station in an uncredited slide stamped October 28, 1956. Scan from my collection added 04/21/18.
