Colorado Springs and Interurban Railway

One of the street cars from Stratton's first order is listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties.

[1][a] In 1898, trolleys ran west to Colorado City, east to Knob Hill, to Cheyenne Park, and connected with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Passenger Depot.

[9] The north/south main line provided service from a loop at the town of Roswell[10] Colorado Springs and Interurban Railway ridership peaked in 1911 and within three years it began to suffer financially as automobile ownership increased.

At that time there were separate cars that ran from the Main Post Office and Federal Courthouse to the Printer's Home.

[11] The east/west mainline extended from Manitou's Iron Springs neighborhood eastward through Garden of the Gods Balanced Rock Station in 1916.

[6] Over the years, service ran east to the North Colorado Springs suburb and southward from the ATSF/Rock Island railroad bridge through the city to the Ivywild and Broadmoor suburbs, where the Cheyenne Mountain Country Club was along the Cheyenne Canon street car line and the terminus[d] It also ran to Broadmoor Park and adjacent to Stratton Park at the entrances to the North and South Cheyenne Cañons.
