bought/strung overhead wire, set new poles, built a power supply, built a loading area in City Park, and built a storage barn, all free to the city. Two hundred local businesses donated money, equipment and labor. Professional companies laying railroad track would cost a million and a half dollars alone in 1985. Then the FCMRS restored the historic Colorado Agricultural College (Colorado State University) Station Depot (1925-1933) and moved it to the City Park trolley loading area at Oak and Roosevelt streets. They have been restoring a second car, No. 25, for the last 10 years. Go see them working Saturday mornings in the 1907 Car Barn at 330 N. Howes St. There may have been no greater all-volunteer project in Northern Colorado. Come ride the trolley, the best kept secret in Fort Collins!
