The Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society has struck a deal with the Charlotte group to bring streetcar #25 back to Fort Collins, Colorado and restore it back to operating condition.
More details will follow in the future.

That is great news! I am glad that the car is going home where she spent her working life!

I am sure your passengers will be glad to join a second local Brinery car as they ride down Mountain Avenue.

i just added a rare Fort Collins post card looking down the tracks with with the trolley wire plainly visible.

Congratulations to all you good guys. Tell us all about the deal and your plans for the car at ARM.

As a Charlottean, I'm pleased to see this car go someplace where it will have a purpose. If we can just send the SEPTA car to Philly, and get our own #85 (or whatever abortion Gomaco created from it) back for special events, we'll have about all the old cars the light rail people will likely allow on the line, if any.

I suppose the Greek car could find a good home with NCTM's international collection, not sure where the Asheville extended single truck Birney body would be best preserved. IS anything happening in Asheville?

Was No. 25 the one that sat for years at Victor, Colorado?

ALL RIGHT! Congrats Roger & FCMRS!

Next to wrest the #22 back from Colorado Springs, and the sister car from Minden, NE [grin....well let's allow our imagination to run wild in celebration, shall we]....

Have rails/wires reached the original FCMRy carbarn?

Hi Bob
It is. It use to belong to the Stitzels' in Victor. It went back east about 20 years ago.
