Stone Consulting & Design discovered that
SEPTA was going to sell off or scrap most of their remaining PCC
Cars in
Philadelphia
. We were able to place
a bid for 10 of the cars and then offered them to our clients at
cost. The Pikes Peak
Historic Railway Foundation agreed to purchase all 10 of the cars
and made arrangements to ship them to
Colorado Springs
where they currently reside.
Our associate Fred Perry built a rectifier station and assisted the
group in installing several hundred feet of overhead wire to allow
the cars to be run in and out of the temporary car barn.
Stone Consulting was also retained by the Pikes Peak Historic
Railway Foundation to interface with the City of
Colorado Springs
during the design phase of a new bridge to make sure that the
expansion joints would be compatible with future track construction
on the bridge.
