New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Corporation is proud to announce the launch of our new site, railnola.com. NOPB teamed up with Trumpet, an award-winning branding firm, based in New Orleans, to create the site and modern aesthetic.

NOPB launched a new corporate logo, marking the most dramatic change in the company’s visual identity since 1908. Featuring the New Orleans fleur-de-lis, the new logo celebrates NOPB’s synergy with the Port of New Orleans, a partnership started in February 2018. The same vibrant red and subtle blue featured in the original historic “belt” NOPB logo honors where the company has been and its sleek new design looks to the future.

New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Corporation (NOPB) is in the process of implementing the Urban Rail Initiative, a companywide program that addresses infrastructure improvements, operations practices and internal and external outreach.
