Welcome to the Colorado Springs & Interurban Railway!

Who We Are:

The Pikes Peak Historical Street Railway Foundation, a non-profit organization, was formed in 1982, and has as its primary mission the restoration and operation of electric trolleys in Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs.

We welcome you to our website. Please take a few moments to learn about the history of trolleys in Colorado Springs, and browse information about the work we are doing to bring trolleys to the Pikes Peak Region. If you would like to join the Foundation, please see our Membership Form for complete details.

What's New:

Check out the new trolleys! The second of two Denver Tramway Company (DTC) cars has arrived in Colorado Springs. In late June, Mr. Rob Thaine delivered Denver Tramway Car No. 770 to the Pikes Peak Historical Street Railway Foundation. He donated the car and charged only a small fee for transporting the car from Strasburg, Colorado. Foundation member Fred Brandt of Denver, Colorado, paid for this move.

The DTC built Car No. 770 in their Broadway Shops in 1926 as a single truck box switcher and placed it into service on November 4, 1926. It served out its operating life at the Broadway Shops next to the old Montgomery Ward warehouse. DTC constructed the car entirely of wood with a canvas covered roof. The car remains structurally in good condition and will be rebuilt as a general service work car.

Both No. 770 and our other DTC trolley, No. 724, are currently located in our north storage yard and available for photographing.
