@white.dead You're right, there are not very many of them left. WES has four of them, but only two are being used regularly.

@Maersk.146 Very nice picture!
This is one of three Stadler trainsets ordered as part of a $100 million rebuild of the railway that was completed in May, 2021. The old track was completely removed and replaced with new running and cog rails, and passing sidings were lengthened to accommodate the new trains. A new visitor center was built on top of Pikes Peak, and the Manitou Springs station was rebuilt to allow for a second track and double platforms.
