Street Cars of Washington D.C. is a photographic essay of the
history of the well-kept modern street car system that provided
frequent transit service to much of our nation's capital up to its
closure in January, 1962. Washington D.C. was the first North
American city to operate its entire base service by President's
Conference Committee (PCC) cars. Washington D.C. had the fifth
largest PCC car fleet in North America. While these cars had poles
for overhead wire operation, they were the only PCC cars in the
world equipped with plows for conduit operation. Washington D.C.
PCC cars, all built by St. Louis Car Company, were about two foot
shorter in length or one less window than other PCC cars, because
of short clearances in car house transfer tables. The Silver
Sightseer in Washington D.C. was the world's first air conditioned
street car. Fifty four years later in February 2016, street cars
returned to Washington D.C. All of this has been included in Street
Cars of Washington D.C.
