Streetcars in Washington

The mule car named Aileen in Washington, GA. The early streetcar was photographed in front of the Fitzpatrick Hotel.

Washington's mule car Aileen stopped at the Fitzpatrick Hotel (above). The hotel still stands.

The Washington Street Railway Company, incorporated in 1887, provided a connection between the Georgia Railroad depot at W. Liberty and Depot streets and the Fitzpatrick and Johnson hotels in the center of town.

A 1908 report indicated that it was a mule-powered line running 5/8ths of a mile with two passenger cars and four freight cars. The company president was T. Burwell Green.
