The trail derived its name from the now defunct Washington, Baltimore And Annapolis Railroad along whose Right-of-way the Trail now runs. From 1908 through 1935 , state-of-the-art electric commuter trains ran along this route carrying passengers between Washington, DC, and Baltimore. The same railroad right of way also serves as the basis for the Baltimore & Annapolis Trail The first section of the trail, a 5.6 mile long stretch from Glenn Dale to Lanham, MD, opened in 2000 . A second 2.3 mile long section in Odenton opened in 2004. The WB&A makes up part of both the East Coast Greenway - from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida - and the American Discovery Trail - from the Atlantic coast of Delaware to San Francisco , California .
