Catonsville Rails to Trails, Inc.

Catonsville Rails to Trails, Inc. Catonsville Rails to Trails, Inc. Catonsville has old rail lines with the potential to become superb recreation paths. Agnes Hospital.
(1)

is a 501c3 non-profit corporation based in Catonsville, MD that serves the community by developing and maintaining safe, accessible trails for recreation and transportation. Principal among these are #8 Streetcar Path (that links Edmondson to Frederick between Opie's and Matthew's 1600) and the old Short Line route which once linked Catonsville by commuter and freight train to downtown Baltimore via a short spur near the present day St. A few dedicated volunteers formed Catonsville Rails To Trails (CRTT) in 1999 with the goal of converting all of Catonsville's old rail lines into bike/hike trails. Since that time, CRTT has expanded our mission to creating safe pedestrian and bike friendly walkways throughout the Catonsville area.

On this Trail Tuesday, we're back to share with an update on our Wayside Exhibits! These new exhibits are possible with support from the Maryland Heritage Areas Authority.

We are excited to share that a few more exhibits are just about ready to be installed along the Short Line Trail. First, we want to give a sneak peek of an exhibit highlighting the collaboration between Catonsville Rails to Trails and Patapsco Heritage Greenway (Patapsco Valley Heritage Area ). We are so appreciative of the many events that PHG plans in the Baltimore Area every year, particularly collaborative events for tree planting and invasive removal along the rails to trails.
