The Fort Collins Municipal Railway began in 1919, when the city took over the small, 3 route line that was started by the Denver & Interurban Railway in 1907. The city bought 4 Birney Safety Cars and began operating them in May, 1919. Fort Collins had the distinction of being the smallest city in the nation with a streetcar system. The city finally abandoned the streetcars in June 1951, after which all but car No. 21 were sold to museums or collectors. This car was the first Birney to run in Fort Collins in 1919, and after sitting in the yard of the city museum for 25 years, was restored beginning in 1977. It is now maintained and operated by the all-volunteer Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society.
