Glen Echo Railroad
[edit]Quest to determine more about the streetcar’s 1898 extension from its original terminus at Wisconsin Avenue to a junction/transfer point to the Capital Traction Company (né Rock Creek Railway) line just south of Chevy Chase Circle:
- 1918 map of DC shows “Belt Road,” which is mentioned in some 1897-89 articles as a reference point for the extension. Has a dotted line that may or may not be a streetcar line.
- 1910 map that seems to omit unbuilt roads
- 1928 photo map

"* September 7, 2019: a remotely controlled Union Pacific train of two locomotives and three tank cars carrying liquefied petroleum gas derailed in Portland, Oregon's Albina Yard. The accident damaged the North Going Street overpass, whose partial closure forced an employer in the Swan Island industrial area to alter work schedules for some 900 workers.[9][10][11][12][13]" PRRfan
