Woodland Heights and Forest Hill are often referred to as “trolley car or streetcar suburbs” by historians as it was hoped that extending the trolley lines out here would also encourage folks to buy land and houses. Thanks to this
post by Church Hill People News we saw this map of all the Richmond trolley lines. CHPN found the map in
Carlton McKenney’s Rails in Richmond. (

Thanks! Thank is really neat. Another description is “Streetcar suburb”…
I’d love to take the trolley from Forest Hill Park to Shockoe Slip for work everyday.
I’d love to take the trolley across the nickel bridge for work everyday.
Bring back the trolleys! With the modern technology available, they can be a safe, reliable, inexpensive and green form of transportation for commuters, shoppers and tourists as well.
