Colorado Springs is/was looking at reviving Trolley Service using the old CS&I Name as well as some of these historic cars.  Service would include a line out to Manitou Springs.  I don't know if they have gotten beyond a feasibility study completed in June 2010 though...

Colorado Springs & Interurban #59

The placard on #59 says after restoration,

     Planned Use:  Special excursions between downtown Colorado Springs and Manitou

I remember some track west of town along US 24 in the early 90s, but Google Earth shows it's now a bicycle trail.  What are they talking about?

Is the Rio Grande boxcar coupled to the Daylight 10400, perhaps the other side of the DF boxcar in the 4/27 post that has no railroad reporting marks or logo?

Only had one other shot of the boxcar and it does not give any more detail other then what can be seen of the photo posted.

Here is a diagram and a couple of photos they had on what it once looked like.
