Los Angeles light rail car preserved

From Chris Baldwin of the Orange Empire Railway Museum comes news that Los Angeles P865 type light rail car 144 has been acquired by the museum. The car arrived in Perris earlier this week where it joins two Duewag-built U2 light rail cars. Per Chris, the preservation of this light rail car was spearheaded by Gary Starre and AJ Chier; the photo above is from a GoFundMe page set up to raise money.

Car 144 is the newest preserved car on the PNAERC list, its 1989 construction date beating out a pair of TTC work motors at Halton County by a year. It's the first car on the list built by Nippon Sharyo, a company which debuted in the U.S. traction market with interurban cars built in the mid-1980s for the South Shore line and are still in service. It's a P865, a type of light rail car built only for Los Angeles, and only the third distinct type of light rail car - after Boeing LRVs and Duewag U2s - in preservation. It's also a significant addition to the Orange Empire collection, as it was part of the original fleet of cars built for the first Los Angeles light rail line to Long Beach that opened in 1990.

I still need motor, truck, and brake information for the P865 - help?
