Starting in mid-1920, the TCR operated the Birney cars on three of its routes: • Gerrard • Bloor • Danforth Under the TTC, the Birney cars operated on various routes such as: • Bloor West: Formerly the TCR Bloor route, it was replaced in August 1925 by an extension of the
Bloor streetcar line, which used single-ended cars. • Parliament: Birney cars served this route from July 1923 to May 1940 when they were replaced by single-ended cars. • Coxwell: Birney cars began service on this route in October 1921. They were replaced by single-ended cars in June 1940 after the construction of a loop at Coxwell Avenue and Queen Street. • Davenport: In November 1923, Birney cars started service along a route that was part of the
Toronto Suburban Railway's
Davenport route. The line was replaced by buses in December 1940. In 1927, the TTC declared 11 of the Birney cars to be surplus. In that year, three cars were sold to the
Cornwall Street Railway Light and Power Company in
Cornwall, Ontario, and eight were sold to the
Nova Scotia Tramways and Power Company in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. The three Cornwall streetcars became CSR cars 16, 18 and 20), and the eight Halifax cars became cars 138–145. In 1940 and 1941, the remaining fourteen Birney cars were sold to the
Nova Scotia Light and Power Company, Limited (successor of Nova Scotia Tramways and Power Company) becoming cars 159–172 in Halifax. All Birney cars were scrapped circa 1949 as Cornwall and Halifax were terminating streetcar service. ==Specifications==
