Manitou, CO: Unknown. Good. 1907. Ephemera. Very small souvenir "pictures" with perforated edges like the large commemorative postage stamps. These were pasted inside an old photo album containing old photos of a farm. More commonly called simply the "Manitou Incline," the Mount Manitou Scenic Incline Railway -- actually a funicular up the side of a peak called Rocky Mountain located adjacent to Mount Manitou -- was operated by the Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway until the Incline was closed by a rockslide in 1990. This line's lower terminus was adjacent to the Cog Railway base station in Manitou Springs. The Manitou Incline was initially built in 1907 for use in construction of city water lines and a hydroelectric plant. When the construction was finished, the Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway took over the cable car as a tourist operation. 12 stamps, 17 old photos in loose black pages. The actual album is long gone. ; Oblong 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 8 pages; 21957 .
