That's right—you can try our historic handcar that Trolley volunteers Chuck Bade and Tim Hindle assembled! This beauty started life as a Fairmont Model S2 "speeder" sometime between 1938-1953. While dismantling an old flatcar, Chuck discovered the original chain sprocket and our maintance volunteers transformed it into a fully operational handcar in 2024.
We're clearing out Bay 3 so you can pump your way back and forth through the full length of the Trolley Barn. It's a piece of railway history you can actually power!
Come pump some history, sip cocoa, hang out with Santa and Mrs. Claus and celebrate the holidays with the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society volunteers. Visit FortCollinsTrolley.org for more information.

Such a wonderful evening at the Annual Trolley Volunteer Banquet!
Last month, we gathered to celebrate the incredible volunteers who make the Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society run. From operating, conducting, and maintaining our cherished historic streetcars to running the depot, serving on the board, and countless other roles, our volunteers are the heart of everything we do.
The evening was filled with volunteer bingo, a delicious catered dinner, and inspiring words from Board President Jim Bowers and Board Member/Depot Manager Maree Johnston. Volunteers shared stories and memories from the 2025 riding season, recounting memorable moments and experiences on the rails.
It's rare to have so many of our dedicated volunteers together in one place, and the room was buzzing with laughter, camaraderie, and shared passion for preserving Fort Collins' streetcar heritage.
Thank you to everyone who attended and to ALL our volunteers who give their time and energy throughout the year. Fort Collins would not have our beloved Birney Streetcars without you!
