Wanting to see the test streetcar in daylight, I drove back to H Street NE on Friday, September 20 hoping to catch it in motion and maybe shoot video. But no, a pipe bomb scare in an apartment building on New York Avenue (that proved to be fake) brought Capitol Hill traffic to a standstill. I turned around and went home. Next morning (Saturday) I tried again and succeeded. There was the streetcar at the eastern foot of the Hopscotch Bridge on H Street NE, being watched over by a security guard.

Looking east from the Hopscotch Bridge. |

Notice this car, #101 (appropriately), has "A" and "B" ends. |
 |
A security guard monitors my suspicious behavior--but left me alone. |
 |
The passenger seats are still shrouded in plastic wrap. |
 |
Still more trackwork to be done up the east side of the Hopscotch Bridge. |
For my next DC Streetcar posting I hope to find #101 actually in motion. So, stay tuned . . .
