In total, over 400 newly built streetcars were assembled by Perley A. Thomas Car Works from 1918 to 1930. During streetcar production, Thomas produced streetcars for the following cities: Philadelphia, PA Washington, D.C. New York, NY Chicago, IL New Orleans, LA (see below) Charlotte, NC Greenville, NC High Point, NC Mobile, AL Sheffield, AL Detroit, MI Miami, FL Augusta, GA Knoxville, TN San Juan, Puerto Rico Havana, Cuba Usage in New Orleans As of 2019, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority operates 35 Perley Thomas 900-series streetcars in active daily use, nearly a century after their construction. Dating from 1923 and 1924, the Thomas streetcars are operated on the St. Charles line (the oldest streetcar line in the world). In 2005, all 35 Thomas streetcars survived Hurricane Katrina unharmed, while 30 of the 31 replica streetcars required restoration, placing them out of service through 2009. The Thomas cars are painted the traditional olive green color. Most of the replica cars are bright red, although a few have been painted olive green to provide ADA-compliant service on the St. Charles line. To keep the Thomas streetcars in service, the RTA established a parts shop with the capability of building a complete replica of the Thomas streetcar design on its own to maintain a stock of replacement parts. The shop designed and produced the replica cars used on the Canal Street Line and the Riverfront Line. Along with the difference in color, the newer designs are ADA-compliant, and the Canal Street cars are air-conditioned. Preservation Outside of their active usage in New Orleans, four Thomas streetcars (all from New Orleans) have been preserved by railway museums across the United States. Two additional streetcars are undergoing renovations for use as heritage streetcars in San Francisco. Two other cars, #919 and #924, retired from the Riverfront line, are owned by New Orleans RTA, but are currently inoperable. Examples include: Connecticut Trolley Museum (NOPSI Car #836) Seashore Trolley Museum (NOPSI Car #966) Pennsylvania Trolley Museum (NOPSI #832) Shore Line Trolley Museum (NOPSI #850) NOPSI Cars #913 and #952 are under the operation of San Francisco Municipal Railway (Muni). Both built in 1923, 952 is leased to Muni from New Orleans RTA since 1998; 913 was purchased from Orange Empire Railway Museum in 2005. As of 2019, both cars are in the process of restoration; 913 has not seen active service since 1964 and funds are
