Description
A light blue and white streetcar is shown in profile on a city street, with the large Union Station building behind it. The car is marked as D.C. Transit 1512 and appears to be the Silver Sightseer. Trees frame the top of the scene, and a few parked cars are visible near the station. The card is dated 1960.
Back Text (verbatim):
D. C. TRANSIT 1512 TP82
This car had to be one of the most outstanding PCC
cars in operation anywhere. Originally built by St.
Louis Car Co. in 1945, the car saw several
rebuildings and renumberings. In 1957 the car was
revamped into a special car known as the "Silver
Sightseer" for touring our Nation's Capitol. It even
boasted a lovely hostess to narrate the trip. 1512 is
shown here passing Union Station, Washington, D.C.
August 28, 1960.
