C&S Coach 70 to be restored!

I just received word from Bob Bowland, longtime Idaho Springs resident, of the following very exciting news: 

C&S coach 70 "will be transported to the Georgetown Loop shops for a full restoration about the end of this month [October] when the Loop operations close down. The loop will be able to retain some staff using pandemic employment funds.  The City[of Idaho Springs] is obligated, among other things, to construct a train shed over the whole train. Seems about as win-win as most deals get."

Unfortunately, I don't have any other details, but if anyone else knows more, please share.  This is great news!
