Welcome Aboard the
Fort Collins Municipal Railway!
Join us for a ride on Car 21 on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and
holidays from May through September. We operate each day from noon through 5 PM. Each 3-mile
round trip between City Park and Howes Street (downtown) takes about 1/2 hour. Boarding
locations on the restored line are City Park (tennis courts), and on Mountain Ave.: Shields St.,
Loomis St., and Howes St.).
We are the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society,
an all-volunteer organization working with the city of
Fort Collins, CO
to provide a heritage streetcar experience.
See the new FCMRS Member News page.
Drop by to Visit Car 25
Fort Collins Municipal Railway streetcar 25 (show here) returned to Fort Collins in 2008.
Car 25 was one of two streetcars the city purchased in 1946 to help keep the aging system running.
After the system shut down in June 1951, car 25 spent time in Victor, CO, Columbia, South Carolina
and Charlotte, North Carolina. We purchased the car in 2007 and are now restoring it to operation
on the rebuilt West Mountain Ave. line. You're welcome to drop by at the
N. Howes St. barn whenever the doors are open to view the work.
