In October we\u2019re visiting the National Capital Trolley Museum where we can photograph streetcars from DC and other cities.  At the visitor center we can see exhibits and presentations on the streetcar system as well as board an historic streetcar for a ride around a one mile track.  And of course we can photograph the many streetcars \u2013 from six different nations – on display.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
