This "Rolling Stock Collections Report" was prepared by the Collection Committee between 1988 and 1992 at the request of The artifacts in the "National Collection" are those required the Board of Directors of the Canadian Railroad Historical Association to tell the complete story of the railways of Canada and their social and the management of the Canadian Railway Museum. The and economic impact. The choice of what to include in the Committee was requested to define the "National Collection" and National Collection was not easy. After much discussion, the to summarize the reasons for the artifacts being in the Association's Collection Committee recommends that those artifacts listed in collection. the first part of each table be considered the "National Collection" The Committee was established in 1986, and has been at this time. It must be remembered that there is other preserved or operating railway equipment which may be worthy of being part composed of the following persons: of the "National Collection".

CPR Canadian Pacific Railway (CP Rail) The Canadian Railroad Historical Association's "National GTP Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Collection of Railway Rolling Stock" is defined as "those artifacts GTR Grand Trunk Railway that are representative, and/or historically or technologically ICR Intercolonial Railway significant, and which illustrate and contribute to an understanding L&PS of the evolution and social impact of rail transportation systems in London and Port Stanley Railway Canada." LB&SCR London, Brighton & South Coast Railway The evaluation of each artifact was done on the "CRHA M&SC Montreal and Southern Counties Railway Collection Committee: Artifact Evaluation Form". The fOlm MSR Montreal Street Railway provides a standard format listing basic information (company, MTC Montreal Tramways Company road number, date built, builder, date acquired, terms of donation, source etc.), reason(s) for the piece being in the collection (historic, NAR Northern Alberta Railways technological, representativeness of Canadian railways, social), NFLD Newfoundland Ry., Terra Transport, CNR condition, etc. The results of this analysis is presented by category. NHB National Harbours Board Railway Each category has a brief introduction followed by a listing of each NSt.C&T Niagara, SI. Catharines & Toronto Railway artifact including a description and brief statement of why it is in the collection. Each category is subdivided into two sub-catagories: ONR Ontario Northland Railway those artifacts that constitute the "National Collection" and those PGE Pacific Great Eastern Railway preserved for other purposes, such as operation, animation of the QNS&L Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway museum, or for local or regional interest. QSR Quebec Street Railway The system utilized in the collections analysis did not R&S Roberval and Saguenay Railway permit definitive ranking between adjacent items on the list, but the relative positions in the list are significant. For example, S&H Salem and Hillsborough Railroad within the steam locomotive collection, CN 6153 and CP 2850 are S&L Sydney and Louisbourg Railway both extremely significant in the collection, and either is more SNCF Societe Nationale des Chemins de Fer important to the collection than those lower in the table. However, TSR items lower in the list may be important to completely tell a Toronto Suburban Railway particular story, so it cannot be assumed any item at the end of the TTC Toronto TranspOltation Commission list is unnecessary to the collection and hence available for (Toronto Transit Commission since 1954) RAIL CANADIEN - 440 84 MAl - JUIN 1994 BUILDERS Ottawa Ottawa Car Manufacturing Company, Ottawa,Ont.

Vol 12 MAIN LINE No 6 The Monthly Bulletin of the New England Electric Railway Historical Society Libraries April 2020 August 2020 Goings On at Seashore - Members Day was held on Saturday, August 29th from 10AM-5PM. Various events were carried online via Zoom to make participation possible for those not able to attend. Zoom events included at 10:50AM: Special Ride on D.C. Transit 1304, 11:45AM: Riverside Dedication Ceremony for John Middleton, 1PM: Roundtable with the Executive Director, 1:30PM: Bylaws Roundtable, and at 2:30PM Worldwide Trolley/Tram Identification Trivia. The weather decided not to cooperate but things went off amazingly well - if slightly damp. The live Zoom-cast from D.C. Transit No.#1304 was rather amazing. While there were some audio hiccups the video from the car was quite good. I for one had never participated in a mobile Zoom event before. The museum’s two MBTA 01400s (Pullman-Standard Car Co., 1963 Rapid Transit Cars), a New Direction (5-year plan) strategic restoration project, were available for viewing in front of the Highwood Carbarn. From No. # 1304 on the move via Zoom President & CEO Jim Schantz speaking at the E.D. Katie Orlando leading the roundtable ceremonies to dedicate the Riverside Car House in the memory of John Middleton I was grabbing the above Zoom images off of my computer through screen shots so apologies for the quality. Pumpkin Patch Trolley events will be held on September 25, 26, 27 and October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, & 11 from 11AM-3PM.

  • 1 Don Bellamy's Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired)
    Don Bellamy’s Rapid Transit Solution (BC Electric Railway Motorman, Retired) “Restore THE POWER OF streetcars NOW” Simple solutions that are based on common sense usually have the greatest impact on society. As is often the case, people with practical experience often have a better understanding of the problem, and can see the most efficient, cost effective solutions first. I spoke with Don Bellamy (former Vancouver City Councilor, Police Officer, and BC Electric Railway Motorman) in July 2008, and his solution is the most efficient and financially viable that I have heard, seen or read about. First let’s get a global perspective. In “The Power of Community – How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” viewers see Americans visiting Cuba in 2006 to learn what Peak Oil really means. When Russia fell in 1991, Cuba lost over 50% of its oil imports from 13-14 million tons down to 4 million tons. While cars produce pollution, buildings and homes consume 40% of world energy and produce 50% of all greenhouse gases. “OIL” Energy is needed for elevators, water supply, heating / cooling, lighting, cooking and food storage, making high rise residential buildings unsustainable. Oil is needed for computers, cosmetics, and plastics. Cubans call the transition to life without Oil the “Special Period”. It took 5 years before the pesticide contaminated soil could be brought back to life with composting. Without the OIL based fertilizers (21,000 tons in 1988 to 1,000 tons in 2006) that produced the 1920’s Green Revolution farm food production increase and oil based pesticides needed to reduce pests associated with mono-agriculture, Cuba had to choose Organic farming.
