The Fort Collins Municipal Railway operated streetcars in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Fort Collins was reportedly the smallest city in the United States to operate streetcars[citation needed] and was the last city in Colorado to operate streetcars. Other streetcar services in the state include the service in Pueblo which ended in 1948 and the Denver Tramway terminated streetcar service in 1950.
By the end of service, the Fort Collins Municipal Railway was one of the last to be using Birney streetcars, and had among the lowest fares (5 cents) of any public transport system in the nation[citation needed].
The railway operated three routes and ran on a 20 minute schedule. Operations came to an end in 1951, after several unprofitable years of operation. One of the FCMR streetcars has been restored to operating condition, along with one of the original routes of that railway, and operates throughout the summer months.
