  • The Western Railway Museum Has One Birney Safety Car. Today, It Is 96 Years Old
    The Western Railway Museum has one Birney Safety Car. Today, it is 96 years old. This is its story. 1920 -1923 San Diego Electric Railway Our Birney Car, Sacramento Northern #62, was built by the American Car Company in St. Louis in 1920. It was purchased new by the San Diego Electric Railway as their #301. The picture to the right shows our Birney when it was new in 1920. The Birney car was designed to solve a problem that San Diego Electric and all other trolley systems in the United States were suffering from in the early part of the 20th century. That problem was how to make money on trolley line s that lacked enough customers to fill a full sized trolley car. What was needed was a car that was small and light weight for minimum purchase cost and low power consumption. For minimum labor cost, the car must be safely operated by one person instead of the 2 man team of conductor and motorman normally required. The Birney car, named after W.O. Birney, the chief engineer of the Stone and Webster Company, was the answer. Beginning in 1915, thousands of Birney cars were produced to very similar designs by all the major streetcar builders in the United States but the most prolific builder was American Car Company of St Louis, who built our car . San Diego Electric tried the Birney cars for 3 years but the promised operating economies did not work out for the m. As a result, in 1923 they sold their Birney cars to the Sacramento Northern Railroad.
