Photo Call

I need your help! You may be aware that the photos on the PNAERC roster are, in many cases, very out-of-date. We haven't been able to update photos or video on an as-needed basis the way we've been able to update the written data. While this won't change per se, we are going to try and do a batch update and upload an entire new set of images - up to two images per car for some 2,100 cars - this summer or fall. That should allow us to add images of cars added to the roster since the last photo upload, back in 2014, and update images for cars that have been restored during the last decade.

And this is where you come in! There are a lot of cars for which I'm missing photos, or at least missing photos that are recent, good, or both. I'm not looking for photos of Pacific Electric 717 or ConnCo 1160 - there are a ton of photos out there of the "regular runners." What I need are recent-ish pictures of the equipment that usually lives in a storage barn or under a tarp - something like Los Angeles Railway 9007 or Boston Elevated Railway 3271.

If you can submit a photo, email it to me through www.bera.org/pnaerc.html. Web resolution, 1024 or 800 pixels wide, is great. Better yet, if you have - or know of - a photo that's posted online, just send me the link. And thank you!
