Union station dc track map3/21/2024 [This is a running problem with "modern streetcar" services - they're often either (1) isolated or (2) oddball stand-alone spurs rather than being properly integrated into systems. But as things stand, it's something of an isolate in the "system". If the line were extended to the west to at least Metro Center (I might want to extend it to meet up with one of the Metro lines across the river as well, but I don't know how "bad" that area is), if not all the way to Georgetown, it might serve a more clear purpose.
