Viewing Album:  Denver Tramway #.04
 
By:Kevin Murray
Dates:8/14/2019 - 8/14/2019
Album Info:This was the last trolley to run in and out of Denver before closing the system down in the early 1950's. It was sold off to use as a hunting lodge in the mountains, after retirement. Wally Weart had enough foresight to realixe its significance and the City of Arvada (where the narrow guage ran through) agreed. With help from History Colorado, the Trolley was rehabilitated to the shape it was in on its last running days. The Trolley is for display only.
