Welcome Aboard the
Fort Collins Municipal Railway!

We operate Fort Collins Birney Safety Car 21, one of four cars purchased by the City in 1919. Birney cars provided daily service until 1951. Afterwards, car 21 sat in a park for almost three decades. We restored it, rebuilt the line on West Mountain Ave., and now operate the car on weekend afternoons from May through September.

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.

 Another Season Under the Wire

Thanks to your support and good weather, we've concluded another successful season running Car 21 on the Mountain Ave. line. This year, we carried over 10,000 passengers on weekend afternoons and almost 60 hours of charters for special groups. We hope you enjoyed riding Car 21 and we'll see you again next spring.

 Drop by to Visit Car 25

Fort Collins Municipal Railway streetcar 25 (show below) returned to Fort Collins last year. Car 25 was one 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 car 25 in 2007 and are now restoring it to operation along with car 21 on the rebuilt West Mountain Ave. line. You're welcome to drop in whenever the doors are open to view our work.
