Ding-ding!! All aboard the historic Fort Collins Trolley!!

Fort Collins acquired our first electric trolley system in 1907 and it remained our city's reliable public transportation until 1951. By then personally owned automobiles had become popular, our city's limits had expanded, and our trolley cars were in need of costly repairs. It wasn't until 1984, thanks to a dedicated group of volunteers restoring Birney Car 21 to its former glory, that we were able to bring heritage trolley rides back to historic Mountain Avenue.

Please join us to celebrate Colorado Railroad Heritage Week on Saturday 6/27 from 12-5pm. Fares will be free this day, however, passengers will be given a nickel to deposit into the fare box as a way to remember that from 1919-1951 the cost to ride the trolley remained an affordable 5¢.

The trolley departs every 30 minutes from the Trolley Depot in City Park in Fort Collins. The last trolley departs City Park at 4:30pm.

Since 2002, the City of Fort Collins - Government Art in Public Places Pedestrian Paver project has worked to incorporate granite pavers with drawings by Fort Collins youth into City sidewalks.

The City selects designs through an open call. Each young artist receives an honorarium for their work. The City then sandblasts the designs into granite pavers and places them throughout Fort Collins during sidewalk improvements.

Here is a paver featuring Birney Car 21 placed in 2016 and drawn by Logan Musci, age 9. It can be found near the intersection of Washington and Mountain Avenues.
