The Fort Smith Streetcar Restoration Association is dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of electric powered streetcars, railroad equipment, transportation and other technology that existed during this period in history, and to providing a unique educational experience to the visiting public.
We operate a 1926 Briney safety car that operated in Fort Smith from 1926- 1933. Our story is the history of public transportation not only in Fort Smith but over 1,000 USA cities. We have a mural designed by John Bell. Jr depicking the history from 1883 to 1933. We have City Busses representing the history from 1933 t6o the early 1970s.
Our second restoration the Hot Springs Street railway 50 is almost completed. It is a 1904 double truck wooden car.
