About this audio guide
This guide to the H Street Corridor in Washington, D.C. follows the streetcar line built toward RFK Stadium, a $200 million, decade-delayed project meant as the first of eight lines across the city. It traces the free-fare service that finally opened in 2016, hoping to revive a strip gutted by the 1968 riots, and the six new cars bought to run a route barely longer than a walk. The overhead wires strung for that larger network still run above the road today.
