It'd be cool if the museum could restore the passing siding so simultaneous operation of two Birneys would be possible.

Take note of the nifty street running.

A group of us visited the Ft. Collins line prior to the ARM annual meeting in Colorado Springs several years ago. This is a really neat operation. The No. 21 is in great condition and the line uses the original roadbed and line poles. After the line was abandoned the city used the line poles for street lights. When the line was rebuilt they used the same poles.

Ft. Collins Muni is a must see & ride.

Thanks!
