==Original use==
Introduced 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.〔Middleton, William D. (1967). ''The Time of the Trolley'', pp. 122–127, 414, 418. Milwaukee: Kalmbach Publishing. ISBN 0-89024-013-2.〕 Its economies gave a "new lease on life" to many small-town streetcar systems.〔Middleton, William (1967). ''The Time of the Trolley'', 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.
