As D.C. awaits the completion of the H Street and Benning Road NE leg of the streetcar line, which may (or may not) be done by the end of this year, Ghosts of D.C. provides a blast from transportation past.

The site posted two videos worth of footage showing streetcars running in D.C. during the 1950s, and they’re pretty cool. Ghosts of D.C. explains what’s going on: “This is some really cool old footage. It shows the 82 streetcar line running from Eckington, heading through northeast, up to Mount Rainier, Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, and College Park.”

While the cars from that system, which was abandoned in the early 1960s, are a cool shade of green, new streetcar units will be red.
