RIDE THE PLATTE VALLEY TROLLEY!
Come visit the Denver Rail Heritage Society and ride an Open Trolley
Car along the scenic Platte River Valley and See Denver From A Breezer!
Our Trolley operates past Confluence Park, REI, Downtown Aquarium, Children's Museum and Mile-Hi Stadium.
Our operators are very knowledgeable about the history of the area in
which we operate and delight in relating some interesting facts which
even some of the locals don't know.
Please check our Schedules & Fares page for
details.
Where can you go and what can
you see and do on the Platte Valley Trolley?
Call TODAY and join us for an enjoyable ride back in time before the Interstate
and jet planes, back to the time when Grandma was a girl being courted
by Grandpa as they took a ride on a Breezer! As our Trolley is an open
air "Breezer", weather is a factor and we may not operate should the weather
be very unfavorable.
If you would like to join the Denver Rail
Heritage Society, fill out and mail us a membership application.
If you live in the Denver area and would like to learn to operate our
Trolley, call the office or e-mail us and we will set up a training day
for you. It's really fun and if you have never done this, you are missing
a great opportunity.
This is a photo of the original Denver Tramways sightseeing car sitting in front of the famous Brown Place Hotel. The picture was taken about 1906 and was used on the cover of sheet music entitled "Seeing Denver". The fare back then was $0.50 for a 2 hour - 25 mile trip. While we cannot duplicate the original route, our "Breezer" proudly carries on the same tradition as you will see when you ride with us! Photo courtesy Colorado Railroad Museum
