Our Rail Collection

Our collection efforts have focused on the acquisition of streetcars and interurbans that once served the northern Ohio area. Where examples of local cars were not available, similar cars from other cities have been acquired as with our Toronto Peter Witt street car and our Rio de Janeiro open car.

Below  is a roster of the equipment in NORM's rail collection. The list is divided into these categories,  Restored Cars ,  Restorable Cars ,  Restorable Car Bodies ,  and   Maintenance of Way Equipment .

Please note the hyperlinks on the car numbers. These will take you to pages containing more information and photos of the cars.
