Washington had a rail transit system prior to WMATA. It was, like most, a group of streetcar lines. DCs was notable in that it had the wires underground, accessed by a unique "hook" that reached down into the slot in the middle rail to contact for power. An example of this is seen here in the Georgetown section of the city. |
