I know that several years ago (I would appreciate knowing an exact date) the Orange Empire Railway Museum in Perris, California experienced a bad prairie fire which destroyed several pieces of equipment. Does anyone have a complete roster of the cars that were destroyed? I need to know what cars were destroyed so that I can officially take them off of OERM's roster. There are quite a few cars that used to be on their roster and aren't any more; while some of these were probably scrapped or sold off, some undoubtedly succumbed to the flames. |
