The Queens borough of New York City was where the renowned piano manufacturer, William Steinway had his manufacturing facility and operated his own streetcar system. The Third Avenue Railway leased him 25 used J. G. Brill Birney Cars to operate his system. These cars operated on Steinway Lines from 1930-1939, when they were returned to Third Avenue Railway for other assignments. However, streetcars continued to operate in the Queens borough until 1957 and were to become New York City's last streetcar operation. Power Truck Conversion Kit.

In 1921 the Chicago Surface Lines took delivery of six single-truck, double-end, single-door, Birney Safety Cars, equipped with two trolley poles. These six cars were numbered 2000 through 2005 and were intended for the underlying company, Chicago Railways. They were the first modern one-man cars to operate in the city and were assigned to lightly traveled lines. But even in light service, they were considered unsatisfactory due to the bumpy ride. The cars were repainted in the standard CSL red and cream colors, but were taken out of service upon the arrival of newer, sturdier cars and probably never ran again. They all went to scrap in early 1937. Power Truck Conversion Kit.

In an excerpt from "Streetcars of the Two Kansas Cities - Recalling the final years," Don Hutchinson recalled, in 1948 when he was 13, the Kansas City, MO Swope Park Line was his favorite because of the long right-of-way in the middle of the parkway. The sway of the car and the clickety-clack of the rails had a soothing effect on a hot summer day. People seemed happy going to the park and were in a carefree mood. The ride was faster on this section of the line, since there were fewer stops and fewer vehicles in the way. Power Truck Conversion Kit.
