Bethlehem Steel changes

One of the most difficult types of equipment on the PNAERC list about which to find information is industrial electric equipment. Electric locomotives and cars that were in captive plant service, especially if they were of an odd gauge, are just not all that interesting to most people and they're difficult to track down. Included in this count is the collection of wide-gauge (very wide gauge!) ore cars preserved and displayed at the Bethlehem Steel site in Bethlehem, PA.

I came across the above photo recently showing an ore motor numbered F. This thing wasn't on my list previously but it confirms the roster here that suggests that two of these things, D and F, accompany four ore motors with actual numbers that are on public display in Bethlehem. As such I've added car D and car F to the roster. At the same time I've removed three of the numbered ore motors, 1, 4, and 8, from the roster because aerial photos suggest there are only four of the numbered ore cars on site and I've been able to find photos of the four cars that are still there. These three may still be in storage somewhere on the site but it's equally likely that they were just scrapped when the site was made into a public park and historic site. For the time being, the PNAERC roster listing for the National Museum of Industrial History - which manages the historic site - includes only the six cars whose presence can be confirmed.
