Artifact Showcase: WASHINGTON by Trolley and Motor Coach

Happy Tuesday - we hope our East coast friends weathered the tropical storm well.

Fresh from the personal collection of our Social Media Administrator is this combination map and brochure issued jointly by the Capital Traction Company, Washington Rapid Transit Company and the Washington Railway and Electric Company. Folded, this map is almost a half inch thick, and opens into a map much larger than any scanner we have access to! Of the Washington street car maps we've seen, this one by far has the most colorful and unique front cover.

We'll be back Thursday with another item for our Artifact Showcase series.
