Notes
- Like the Chevy Chase Inn itself, the trolley line was built by Francis Newlands and his partners to draw interest to their Chevy Chase real-estate ventures. It began operation in 1892 as the Rock Creek Railway, which changed its name to Capital Traction Company in 1895 .

Glen Echo Railroad
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.
