Program areas at Bay Area Electric Railroad Assc
The organization owns and operates the western railway museum in solano county. During fye 09/30/22, the organization provided direct access to historical and educational experiences to roughly 19,000 people; nearly half of whom are under the age of 16. The main forms of interpretation are rides on restored historic rail vehicles over the former sacramento northern right-of-way, and docent-led tours of the collection. In addition, research and artifact collection in our temperature and humidity-controlled archives is ongoing, as is restoration and conservation work on the collection of 100 historic rail vehicles. Major accomplishments for fye 09/30/22 include ongoing partial restoration to "birney" streetcar, sacramento northern #62 and key system # 271, our association's mother car. The organization continued its presentation of the annual spring wildflower trains and the autumn pumpkin patch festival. We hosted the 5th year for our holiday santa trains, this event not taking place in december 2020 due to the pandemic. Design and preliminary work have begun in preparation for two major construction projects - the expansion of our archives, and construction of a 4th car house to protect historic rail vehicles from the elements.
