Hopsccotch Bridge is the H Street Bridge (colloquially known as the "Hopscotch Bridge" because of modern art on the bridge which depicts children playing hopscotch). This bridge connects H Street NE to North Capitol Street, and is the western teriminus of the much talked about and finally opened Benning Road Line of the DC Street Car.

If you can find a hole in the artwork, or maybe just around the corner from the posted coordinates find a section low enough to look over, you can see the back side of Union Station and associated Rail Yard.
To log this find, upload a picture of yourself with the rail yard in the background. Alternatively, a picture with the Hopscotch Kids artwork.
To get to GZ you'll need to park elsewehere and walk, or take a bus or streetcar.
