Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway for Railway32

The Manitou and Pike's Peak Railway is the second rack railway in the United States, the only using the Abt rack system and is still in operation, mostly using Swiss-made diesel railcars built by the Swiss Locomotive Works in Winterthur. Previously they had a number of GE-built locomotive/passenger car pairs (which still exist as backups) and prior to the 1960s, steam locomotives.
