Very nice artwork, Mike! L/F

Artist's Description

Colorized photo from 1941 July
Original Title: Repairing streetcar tracks
Location: Corner of 14th & G St NW

Originally, they used streetcars pulled by horses, as electricity was invented, a new kind of car was made, but they didn't like overhead wires. Washington insisted that the wires should be buried underground.

However, this created other problems, snow, water, dirt would get in and destroy the cables, so they needed to be kept up constantly. Which meant they had to close streets and dig up the cement and replace wires, and what looks like sections of track.

But they couldn't stop the service, that had to go on, flagmen would have to stop that traffic so they wouldn't be killed in the process. As you can see a group of them is under the tracks.

I don't see any cranes, so I guess they moved the pieces by hand?

About Mike Savad

Mike Savad

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
