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.
Opening Day Saturday, May 3
Our operating season begins Saturday, May 3. We will be running Car 21
each Saturday, Sunday and holiday through September from Noon to
5 PM. For more details, please see
Directions and Fares.
We also run charters for private parties and events.
For more, see Charter Car 21.
Help Bring Car 25 Home!
Former Fort Collins Car 25 has been purchased
from its current owner. We're now accepting donations to bring Car 25 back
home and restore it to service. For more details, please see:
Car 25 News.
