The Cabin John Trolley
It began running in 1892, from Union Station through downtown to Georgetown and then along the Potomac River to the Chautauqua at Glen Echo and the Cabin John Hotel one stop beyond. It was considered one of the nation's most scenic trolley lines with views of the river, trestles over cascading streams and glimpses of wildlife in the forests. It shut down in 1962, the right-of-way visible through several neighborhoods and its historic trestles still spanning the streambeds. |
