The Capital Traction Company was a streetcar company that operated in Washington, D.C., and suburban Maryland. Formed by the merger of the Rock Creek Railway and the Washington and Georgetown Railway, it was the smaller of the two streetcar companies that dominated transit in the capital region in the early decades of the 20th century. In 1933, it merged with its major competitor, the Washington Railway and Electric Company, to form the Capital Transit Company.
