Capital Traction Company No. 303         
Built in 1898, this Capital Traction Company streetcar ran along 7th Street from the wharves at the Potomac River to Boundry Street (now known as Florida Avenue), which at the time was the edge of the City of Washington. Washington banned overhead wires, so streetcars used an underground electrical conduit within the city and an aboveground wire outside city limits.
