Colorado Springs Rapid Transit Railway Company

Colorado Springs, Colorado

The Colorado Springs Rapid Transit Railway Company - Stock certificate dated 1891, prior to the Colorado Springs transit system being purchased by Winfield Scott Stratton.  Wonderful certificate depicting car #10, Pikes Peak Ave., which was built in 1887 and was one of the original rolling stock of the Colorado Springs Rapid Transit.   The car was powered by two 20hp engines, but may have been originally served as a horse drawn car prior to being converted to electric traction after 1890.   the majority of these smaller cars (only 16-feet long) were decommissioned after Stratton purchased the line.
