RIDE THE PLATTE VALLEY TROLLEY!
The Trolley is now operating so please check our Schedules & Fares page for details.
Please bear in mind that this is an open car and we operate, weather permitting such as rain, cold and such weather as it would be uncomfortable for the passengers and crew.
The Trolley is on TV! Click here to see it
Ride an Open Trolley Car along the scenic South Platte Greenway 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.
Where can you go and what can you see and do on the Platte Valley Trolley?
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, e-mail us, or contact our volunteer coordinator 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.
The Society holds a quarterly membership meeting on the third Thursday which is also open to the public. Click here for more details.
You can email the Platte Valley Trolley or call us at 303-458-6255. . Please note, we do not accept reservations for groups of less than 10 and we cannot accept mail orders or credit cards.
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
