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.

In May of 1920, United Railways & Electric Company (later to be Baltimore Transit Company) took delivery of 33 Birney Trolley Cars. These cars were specifically purchased for operation on the Route No. 30 Fremont Avenue Line, a feeder line across west Baltimore. These cars proved to be less costly to operate, and in 1921 United Railways purchased an additional 32 cars for feeder line service.

The Fort Collins Municipal Railway began in 1919 when the city took over the small, three-route line that was started by the Denver & Interurban Railway in 1907. The city bought four Birney Safety Cars and began operating them in May 1919. Fort Collins had the distinction of being the smallest city in the nation with a streetcar system. The city finally abandoned the streetcars in June 1951, after which all but car No. 21 were sold to museums or collectors. This car was the first Birney to run in Fort Collins in 1919, and after sitting in the yard of the city museum for 25 years, it was restored beginning in 1977. It is now maintained and operated by the all-volunteer Fort Collins Municipal Railway Society. It is owned by the Fort Collins Museum.
