The “Beltline” was the circular route followed by the trolley line that served Derby and Ansonia from 1888 until 1937. Of special significance was the fact that the Ansonia/Derby line was the very first electric trolley line in New England and only the second in the United States. On top of that, it also had the first electric freight locomotive in the U.S..

The route starts on Main Street at the Derby Train Station and runs along Main Street to Elizabeth Street to Atwater Avenue in Derby before crossing into Ansonia at Clifton Avenue where it proceeds to Pershing Drive before crossing the Naugatuck River at Bridge Street to Main Street in downtown Ansonia. It then proceeds southward on Main Street until it crosses back into Derby at Derby Avenue. It then turns west on Main Street back to the train station.
