Welcome to " The Chessie Circle Trail ". This is part of the Rails to Trails Project that according to a nearby sign at the cache " C.C.T. #1 ", states that, Beginning in 2011, partnerships have been integral in the rails to trails project that has brought the Chessie Circle to life. This 11.6 mile trail will safely link businesses, schools and recreational facilities for bicycle and pedestrian use.
The Chessie Circle, once a heavily traversed railway, will once again become a major community connector as a multi-purpose trail. Reflective of Toledo's rich industrial heritage 10 rail companies worked together beginning in 1902 to form the Toledo Terminal Railroad. The nation's first belt line formed a loop through Toledo that connected East and West side businesses on the Maumee River. The trail takes its name from the 20th century Chessie System Railroad.
