Thank you to all of the volunteers, staff, and riders who made the 2024 riverfront season successful! It's Football Season! The Trolley will now be operating as the Football Shuttle! We will run for every Denver Broncos home game, including preseason. Tickets can be purchased online, or in person at the time of your ride. The Latest from the Denver Trolley!April 4, 2022: We are gearing up for the season, looking forward to our first riverfront season since 2019, and getting READY TO ROLL!!! We will kick off our season on Thursday, May 26, 2022...Want to join us? We are looking for full-time seasonal staff and part-time volunteers to operate the Trolley, share the story of the area with visitors, and keep the Trolley rolling down the track...See above for info and links! October 15, 2021: We hope that all of you — friends of the Denver Trolley — are doing well and feeling good, and staying safe and healthy! The Trolley is itching to go — our crew has been working hard to get the Trolley back in shape and ready to roll down the tracks along the South Platte River again! Our target date is... ***October 31, 2021*** We will operate the Trolley for our Broncos stadium shuttle that day, starting from Confluence Park at 12:25 PM (two hours before kickoff) and heading up to Empower Field at Mile High right until kickoff. Then we'll head back from the stadium starting at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Come join us, buy tix right at the Trolley on game day, and let's get this Trolley rolling! NOTE: As a rail operation, we abide by the federal regulations and mandates of the Transportation Security Administration, as well as our own practices to promote the health of our riders, volunteers, and community. As such... ***MASKS THAT COVER YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE ARE CURRENTLY REQUIRED ON THE TROLLEY AND ON THE TROLLEY PLATFORMS*** Thank you for working with us to keep each other safe and healthy. April 27, 2021: We hope that you are reading this and that you are healthy and safe and doing all of the things we all need to do to help the world get healthy again. In a normal year, we would be getting ready for our regular season to start in about a month — recruiting and training volunteers, hiring seasonal staff, sprucing up the Trolley, and pumping up the #TrolleyEnergy in Denver! But we haven't had a normal year in a while, so, while we wait out the pandemic, we are busy doing some important upgrades on the Trolley, using this opportunity to get the Trolley in tip-top shape for when we get to roll again...hopefully in 2021! Check this space for updates on the Trolley...In the meantime, check out this great article in Denverite today by Kevin Beaty: ***The Denver Trolley Gets a Facelift in a Year without Riders*** Kevin got some great photos last week of our volunteers at work, and our Trolley from the inside out! Thanx, Denverite! Dave Muggli rehabs some rotten floorboards in the old Denver Trolley, which has sat outside by Confluence Park for three decades. April 22, 2021.

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 50 cents for a two-hour/25-mile trip. While we cannot duplicate the original route, our “Breezer” proudly carries on the same tradition — come ride with us!

Historic Streetcar Systems of Colorado
Are you curious about the streetcar systems that operated in Colorado? Check out this report produced by the Colorado Department of Transportation detailing all of the historical streetcar systems in Colorado. The research and report were undertaken to address the issue of "unanticipated discoveries" of historical streetcar tracks during construction and paving projects — to be able to plan ahead for the impact of construction on historically meaningful streetcar artifacts, and to have a plan for preservation. There is a wealth of information, maps, photographs, archives of historical documents, and lots of other products of this research to keep everyone reading on and on and on...Click on the title above or right here to check out the report!
