FCMR Trolley #22 - Fort Collins Municipal Rwy |
| Description: |
My new wife of less than a year inspects the controls in the Fort Collins Municipal Rwy trolley #22. This car was built by the American Car Company of St Louis in 1919 for Fort Collins, CO. After retirement, it was purchased by the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club in 1953 and eventually ended up at the Colorado RR Museum from 1958 to 1994. The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club began leasing No. 22 to the Pikes Peak Historical Street Railway Foundation (PPHSRF), in Colorado Springs, and the car was moved there in 1995. When the 10-year lease expired, the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club agreed to sell the streetcar to the PPHSRF, which has a short section of operational streetcar line. In 2007, PPHSRF, now doing business under the name of the former Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway (CS&IR), changed No. 22's current identity by giving it a new paint scheme and renumbering it as CS&IR No. 135. The trolley has gone through quite a few changes since I took this photo in 1976. |
