Fort Collins Municipal Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fort Collins Municipal Railway operated streetcars in Fort Collins, Colorado, from 1919 until 1951.[1] Since 1984, a section of one of the former routes has been in operation as a seasonal heritage streetcar service, under the same name, running primarily on Spring and Summer weekends. The heritage service is operated by volunteers from the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society (FCMRS).[2] The streetcar in use on the heritage line, Birney "Safety" Streetcar No. 21, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
