The Cherrelyn car was restored or replicated by the City of Englewood Public Works Dept. under the direction of Wayne Oakley, Superintendent. It was used in a ceremony opening an extension of Denver's new light rail system and is now permanently ensconced in Englewood's new city hall as a display in the foyer. This car was pulled up the hill and then coasted back down with the horse riding in the rear vestibule. The horsecar replica located in Ontario, California, had a similar situation but used a small trailer behind the car to carry the mule. These and others cars are described in Seashore Trolley Museum's "List of Extant Horsecars" of which the second revised version will be ready for distribution April 1, obtainable from the Museum store at http://www.trolleymuseum.org.
