From an album I got recently, the Manitou Pikes Peak Ry. This railroad is still in operation although the looks of the equipment have changed of course, this was 1920 to 1922 based on dates given other photos in the album. They use a special kind of gear called a cog railway, not sure what all it is but there is a third rail which helps climb the steep grades. It was the same then although steam is no longer used as pictured here.
