Passengers dismount the Cherrelyn Gravity and Broncho Street Railway horse car at Orchard Place, (Englewood) Arapahoe County, Colorado. Women wear hats with plumes, flowers, and ribbons. The weathered wooden trolley with "Cherrelyn" painted on side has glass windows, some are open, and the back window has a shudder. Advertising signs behind the car read: "For Sale, Lots in this Addition, R. W. Beecher, Good Blk. Room" and "The Sherman Williams..." The horse car connected with South Broadway trolley cars at Orchard Place; the horse pulled the car uphill for more than a mile to Cherrelyn village then rode down on car's rear platform.
