At a D.C. Council hearing yesterday, the District Department of Transportation shared some unsettling updates to the development of the city’s new streetcar system. A bit more than a year away from its scheduled debut, the first line along H Street and Benning Road NE is close to veering off the rails, it seems.

The Washington Business Journal’s Michael Neibauer reported yesterday that the District has cancelled a contract to buy two new streetcars from an Oregon-based manufacturer for $8.7 million.

The Czech firm that built the District’s first batch of streetcars is mad that it lost out on the bid to build the latest pair, the Washington Business Journal reports.
