Washington DC's New Streetcar

Car arriving as another departs the western terminus of the new DC streetcar line at Washington Union Station. The streetcar opened just a few weeks ago after literally years of legal and bureaucratic wrangling. My wife and I took a ride a weekend or so ago to check it out and have an afternoon out on the city's vibrant new H Street corridor, or Atlas, District.

Metro train crossing over the eastern terminus of DC Streetcar. Unfortunately the only
walk on transfer location is at Union Station--there is no Metro stop at this end of the line.
Turnaround at the terminus as a two-car set begins its westbound run.
