Ex-Kyoto 869 in the lean-to barn at Old Pueblo Trolley
869 was built in 1953 by Aichi-Fuji for Kyoto City Lines. After a few years it was renumbered 1869.
In 1972 streetcar service in Kyoto ceased and 1869 was sold to the Hankai Electric Tramway operating out of Osaka. The car was renumbered to Hankai 255 and operated there until 1992, when it was retired and sold to Old Pueblo Trolley.
It was restored in 1994 and 1995 and replaced Birney car 10, which was returned to owner Orange Empire Railway Museum, as OPT's main operating car.
