The Preserved North American Electric Railway Cars (PNAERC) website at http://www.bera.org/pnaerc.html has been updated and, for the first time since it was established approximately three years ago, has been expanded considerably.
Webmaster Jeff Hakner has designed a new feature for the PNAERC website which allows us to publish brief historical descriptions of the preserved electric cars included in the site. These historical narratives allow much more information about their subjects to be communicated than was previously possible through the basic database listing, furthering our goal of disseminating as much information as possible about traction preservation.
As of yet these historical narratives have only been written for about 130 cars out of the 2,000+ cars on the overall list. We are looking for authors to write more historical descriptions of preserved electric cars; if you are interested in contributing to this project, please contact Frank Hicks at [email protected]. As always, we are also interested in any corrections or additions to the database listings that people can send us.
