Trolly Line Number 9 Trail

The Historical Ellicott City/Baltimore Trolly Line #9 Trail is a convert|1.25|mi|km|1|sing=on trail in western Baltimore County, Maryland. It begins at the west end of Edmonson Avenue and extends from Catonsville through Oella to Main Street, Ellicott City. The easy-to-walk, shade-covered trail follows what was originally part of a trolly line that shuttled passengers between Ellicott City and Baltimore from the late 1890s to the mid-1950s. A century after its construction, in the 1990s, the abandoned right-of-way was converted as part of a rails-to-trails program. Today, the path is paved and features a section of boardwalk next to walls of rock that were hand-cut by the original builders.
