Prototype Perley Thomas replica car 2001 in Canal demonstration service, at the pocket track near the foot of Canal Street, November 2001.  Features of the new car that can be observed in these pictures include the fake clerestory roof, which houses air conditioning equipment, and the wheelchair door in the side of the car.  The car is painted red and light yellow, like the Riverfront cars, but is signed and lettered like the St. Charles cars, with the route sign above the window and the car number below it. — Michael Strauch
