The BeltLine (sometimes Belt Line, Beltline) is a former railway corridor around the core of Atlanta which is currently under development in stages as a multi-use trail. Some portions are already complete, while others are still in a rough state but hikeable. Using existing rail track easements, it aims to improve not only transportation, but to add green space and promote redevelopment. There are longer term visions for streetcar or light rail lines along all or part of the corridor.

Waited till it was time,
And aimed between the belt and boot
And let the barrel climb.”
