More 1947 or 1948 Capital Transit photos.  Someone with a better memory than mine can tell us the locations.

The number 370 makes it hard to match with the roster in Leroy King's "100 years of Capital Traction" (There's a gap between 366 and 377), but looking at photo captions and notes this is one of a large lot of Brill cars from around 1910 that started out as Washington Ry & Electric.
