Those Stillwell coaches look familiar. Good odds one of those is now in Connersville, IN.

 guessing the guy in suit is Howard Noble, now the force behind the Pikes Peak Trolley Museum, and he brought the C&LC  out to colorado running.   I worked for him during the 1983 wheat harvest, between limon and Goodland.    Kansas developed the mid states port authority. and the purchased the line to limon  from Bellville  and chose Kyle as the operator in 84, then the C&LC started running  substanially west of limon   , vs just doing car storage west of town.   Ken Combs was the operating manager here in Colorado

I concur that Howard Noble is the man in a sport coat and wearing gloves in the second photo.  Howard was President & General Manager of the C&LC.  Howard hired me as the dining car steward, waiter and general dogs-body in 1970, my first railroad job.  He is now in a Colorado Springs, CO nursing home and no longer active in the Pikes Peak organization.
I write to him regularly.

A little more accessible.  Helps to take out of plastic.
