It was listed on the National Register in 1994[2]{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=12-13}} and is one of fewer than 10 streetcars listed.[4] Original useIntroduced in 1915, the Birney Safety Car was a new standardized streetcar design that encompassed new safety features; it was also lighter in weight than earlier designs and more economical to operate.{{sfnp|Middleton|1967|p=122–127, 414, 418}} Its economies gave a "new lease on life" to many small-town streetcar systems.{{sfnp|Middleton|1967|p=137}} No. 224 was built and purchased in 1926. The Fort Smith streetcar system used several Birney-type cars during the last several years of streetcar service, until the abandonment of the system by the Fort Smith Light & Traction Company on November 15, 1933. Car 224 was later used as a diner in Ashdown, Arkansas.[5][6] Restoration and new useBirney car 224 is owned by the Fort Smith Streetcar Restoration Association (FSSRA) and is part of the Fort Smith Trolley Museum (FSTM) collection.{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=12-13}} Car 224 was restored by FSSRA volunteers and began carrying passengers on the museum's heritage streetcar line on May 19, 1991.{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=12-13}}[7] It was added to the National Register exactly three years later, on May 19, 1994.[2]{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=12-13}}[3] The FSTM streetcar line, or trolley line{{spaced ndash}} the terms streetcar and trolley are used interchangeably in much of North America{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=98, 101}} connects Garrison Avenue, in downtown, with the gates of the Fort Smith National Cemetery.{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=12-13}} DescriptionLike many streetcars, car 224 is a "double-ended"{{sfnp|Young|1997|p=98, 101}} car – capable of being operated from either end. It has a single door on each side. The backs of its wooden-bench seats are reversible, allowing the seats to face either end of the car. This type of seat was also known as a "walkover" seat,{{sfnp|Middleton|1967|p=122–127, 414, 418}} as the motorman could walk down the car's center aisle at the end of the line and flip the backs of the seats over. The 600 Volts DC that powers the car's electric motor is collected from the overhead trolley wire via a trolley pole on the roof; only one of the two poles is in use at a time, depending on the direction of travel. The car has a single truck and, overall, is approximately {{convert|27|ft|m}} long.[6] Fort Smith car 224 is one of three Birney streetcars listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the others both being from the former Fort Collins, Colorado system: Fort Collins car 21, which operates on a heritage streetcar line in its home town, and Fort Collins car 22.
