Text Box: Text Box: PROTECTIVE FENCES INSTALLED ON OLD TROLLEY TRESTLES The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) is installing wire fences topped with barbed wire to block access to the former trolley streetcar track trestles at several locations next to MacArthur Blvd., The Mohican Citzen reported last month. One is above the path that leads from MacArthur Blvd. down to the C&O towpath and Sycamore Island. A second is at the other end of the old track that crosses Walhonding Brook. Signs announce: “Private Property—No Trespassing—Violators Will be Prosecuted—Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Citizen editor Virginia Douglas was told by a WMATA official that similar fences will be installed at two other trestles on that old trolley line, one near Georgetown University, and the other in Glen Echo where the trestle crosses Minnehaha Creek. WMATA intends to transfer the latter trestle, which is part of the trolley right-of-way between Oberlin Ave. and Oxford Rd., to the National Park Service in an exchange of property, she was told. The official said that one-time plans to demolish the old trestles, or restoring the Glen Echo trestle and tracks so that a trolley could be run back and forth for a short distance, had to be abandoned because of the high cost involved. Strangely, no mention was made of the trestle that exists between Glen Echo and the one-lane bridge into Cabin John and which crosses Whisky Creek.
