Seperate manitou Incline, from Pikes Peak Railway... not the same, PPR is a business not a free public attraction — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bloody trauma (talkcontribs) 10:48, 10 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Matt Murdock, editor in chief? edit

It seems obvious to me, so why is there no mention of how long the line is? Trekphiler 12:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Length update in infobox... 8.9 miles. LanceBarber (talk) 09:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Title of this page is incorrect edit

Pikes Peak has no apostrophe within its name - and neither does the railway that climbs it. (In fact, the logo shown on this page makes that clear.) Duncan1800 (talk) 05:39, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

They're either inconsistent or mainly use the apostrophe: File:M&PP 5 at Manitou Springs.jpg, File:PikesPeakTrain.jpg, and the logo on [1] actually uses an apostrophe. In addition, the Interstate Commerce Commission's valuation report uses the apostrophe, which is why I moved it. --NE2 07:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Rail gauge edit

Jane's World Railways, 69/70, lists Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway as being 56.5 gauge. Peter Horn User talk 21:59, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

So does the ICC valuation report from the 1910s ("The railroad is single track standard gauge and is operated by steam."). --NE2 23:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Updates edit

The railway is now back in operation for 2021. The downtime pretty much resulted in major rebuilding with some "upgrades". The ABT system was replaced with a new Strub single rail cog system, new engines, and new railcars. The article can be expanded with new information and more sources, Inspecting the Manitou & Pikes Peak Cog Railway, An engineering feat: Rebuilding the Pikes Peak Cog Railway, and others. -- Otr500 (talk) 15:21, 23 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
