Comment

This token was used for fare on the Manitou Springs Two-Bit Trolley. The trolley offered a guided tour through Manitou Springs. The trolley cars were built out of the historic wooden cars of the Manitou Incline Railway. The Incline cars were cut in half lengthwise and the two halves placed side by side and put on a street chassis.
