If you haven't visited it already, let us call your attention to the "beta test" version of the PNAERC list, which is now available here. That stands for Preserved North American Electric Railway Cars, and as before has a complete list of preserved electric equipment. The beta version includes several new features, including a blog with updates on preserved equipment all across the country. As before, Jeff Hakner of Branford is doing the programming, and Frank is handling the data.
One known limitation is that many of the links to photos and so on are broken; this will be fixed as time permits. Other than that, though, there are better and more complete formats for presenting technical data, finding particular types of equipment, and so on. Enjoy!
And in other news, I have finished scanning in all of the Mizerocki photos. Again, I encourage input on identifying people in the photos, and details of what's going on.

Is this a replacement or a compliment to this database?

To quote the PNAERC Blog: "Currently there are two versions of the list, the public site last updated in 2014 [www.bera.org/pnaerc.html] and "version 2.0" which is in beta-test mode and is being updated with changes and additions as they are submitted (http://www.bera.org/cgi-bin/pnaerc.pl). Once design work on the version 2.0 site is completed it will replace the current PNAERC site."
