One of my sisters worked for a senator in the late 1990s. The monorail was still in use then.
And now?
And just curiouis, which senator?
Can’t remember his name offhand but he was from Connecticut.
For anyone interested, here is an overview:

Mayy have been Christopher Dodd.
Joe Lieberman. I checked.
Hurrah for your sister!
Two 1947 photos at Union Station:
An earlier post showed the inside of the Georgetown plow-pit of the “20” Cabin John Line. Here is an inbound PCC transitioning from overhead wire to conduit aat tht plow-pit:
More 1947 or 1948 Capital Transit photos. Someone with a better memory than mine can tell us the locations.
CApital Transit’s freight motor pulling a string of coal hopper cars from the interchange with the B & O to the Benning Patomic Edison Power Plant, reached by a branch off the Benning Road streetcar line.
Backj toi Benning Yard:
Another look at the powerplant coal operation:
Dech-roof double-end car at Benning Yard. Who can tell us which of the two predicessor compnies first owned this car?
The number 370 makes it hard to match with the roster in Leroy King’s “100 years of Capital Traction” (There’s a gap between 366 and 377), but looking at photo captions and notes this is one of a large lot of Brill cars from around 1910 that started out as Washington Ry & Electric.
Thanks
Ex-Providence double-truck lightweight and PCCs near Benning Carhouse and /yard. 506, actually at the junction with the freight sur to P:atomikc Edison, is signed for route 72 to Patomic Park, so it must be a put-in coming from the yard, heading downtown for evening Rush-Hour trips on Rt. 72. but I may be mistaken for memories of 75+ years ago:
Improved over earlier version. Eastbound PCC to short-turn at Washington Circle, on Pennsylvania Avenue, but where?
That’s on Pennsylvania Avenue, looks like just east of the circle. New York Avenue was not near there.
