From 1828 to 1830, mules were used to move people, goods, and of course, more rails, bolts, and ties. In 1830, Iron Horses
began their journeys.

Notice that, even with various streetcar owners, there are circle loop lines. The routes were longer. The #2 route, travels
from/to Fort McHenry all the way to Druid Hill Park.
Now on the right hand side, go to see other U.S. cities' oldest streetcar maps. All had circle loop lines, not several bunched
up busses all going on the same streets in their downtowns, like Baltimore, Charles, and Pratt Streets, just name a few.
Circle loop lines move a major amount of people short distances, enabling faster service (streetcars never had schedules because
they came so often), even when transferring, as little to no wait for connection. [MTA is opposite, with often have to walk
several blocks for transferring.]
[Choices to walk a few blocks this way or that way. This allowed more neighborhoods to be serviced, and get to where they
wanted to go quickly. Streetcars always quicker, and smooth ride.... No bundling of routes.]

"What Atlanta is doing, and what Baltimore should be doing is to set up a system of fringe parking lots and commuter
rail which connects to an inner city system of 'peoplemovers' which will carry people over the whole inner city area. The
streets can be turned back to people as they are being in many places all over the world, and we could redevelop the
cleared areas of the city for people as nice places to live instead of pollution generators."
In other words, "A train circle looped system on outskirts of Baltimore City, with Streetcar Main Connectors and
Streetcar Neighborhood Connectors will clear the air - permanently."
