Texas Electric box motor added

Thanks to Phil R, who alerted me to the find, and John Meyers, who provided updated information, Texas Electric 507 has now been added to the PNAERC list. Pictured above, it's a wooden freight motor built in 1907 by St. Louis for Texas Traction. Out of service in 1949, it was recently found on a farm in Ellis County, Texas and earlier this year was purchased by the City of Waxahachie. It was recently moved into protected storage in that city while plans are put together to cosmetically restore it and place it on display.

Car 507 is the 11th Texas Electric car known to be preserved. Freight equipment is unusually well represented among surviving TE cars; those 11 cars include three freight motors, three freight trailers, and two locomotives. With luck Waxahachie will fix up car 507 into a nice display piece like Southern Traction 305 in Corsicana or Texas Electric 360 in Plano.
