PIKE'S PEAK

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.
