Two versions of the same picture, looking up Carondelet from Canal.  Henry Clay car 255 has just taken the curve in the foreground from the inner lakebound track to head up Carondelet.  Cars 240-259 were built by Jackson & Sharp in 1899.  The upper picture is the published postcard; the middle is the photo from which it was made, taken from the publisher's archive; and the bottom picture is a detail from the middle picture, made by Shorpy.com. — Detroit Publishing Co.
