About This Site
The "Hicks Locomotive and Car Works" banner at the top is taken from original artwork of the company, which was in business from 1897 to 1911. The picture behind it shows the four restored CA&E wood cars at the Museum, starting with #309, which was built by the Hicks Locomotive and Car Works in 1907.

Our Current Projects
CA&E 36, 308, 309, and 319
For 2024, the 309 and 319 should be available for revenue service. The 308 has a bad motor and the 36 has a broken leaf spring, but work to make them operational again is underway.
CA&E 451, 453, and 460
We are working on reupholstering the seats in these cars.
Shaker Heights 18
The 18 is operational; repairs and repainting are now underway.
Shaker Heights 63
This car is being repainted.

Thanks both for your restoration efforts and even more so for keeping we out of towners informed as to what is happening at the museum. Yours is one of the first websites I check in the morning.
While on the subject of electric cars I was wondering if you could inform me of the status of the NYCTA Redbird cars? I appreciate your replies- Miles T.
