Nine-Mile Circle
The Nine-Mile Circle (today often called the "Nine Mile Trolley") was a streetcar line of the Atlanta Street Railway, later the Atlanta Consolidated Street Railway which went from downtown Atlanta to today's Virginia-Highland neighborhood as follows: The line started operation in late 1889, and was the second electric line in Atlanta, after the Edgewood line to Inman Park.The line was an extension of an earlier horsecar line: In its heyday in the 1890s, the Nine-Mile Circle line was one of the streetcar lines popular for pleasure trips.It also took visitors to the Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895, held in what is today Piedmont Park.At some point (it seems around 1901 as the line was frequently mentioned in the Atlanta Constitution and suddenly ceases to be mentioned after June 1901), service in a loop was discontinued (see map).Service to the area did continue as individual lines however:
