Covid and the Rails

Covid brought a halt to many of the things we did.  For most of us, we needed to be quarantined and spent any hours inside our apartments.  It also brought a halt to many of the transit construction projects around us.  

 

Tonight’s program looks at what transpired "rail wise” after the end of the Covid Pandemic.  Tonight’s program is more of a newscast  examining recent additions to transit systems in places such as Chicago, Portland, Tacoma, Calgary, Edmonton, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Diego.  

 

This program will also be presented on Zoom (CERA members only) for those members unable to attend the meeting in person.

Since 1938, Central Electric Railfans’ Association has presented programs, published books, and hosted fan trips.

In 2024 CERA continued its successful online programs on Zoom, offering both “open-to-all” Zoom programs and programs marketed exclusively to members and prospective members. We also returned to our in-person programming at a new location and hosted a fan trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

We very proudly edited, published and produced the critically received Transit in the Triangle, Volume 2 which was mailed to all of our 2019 Members. Our goal now is to get out two books in the next 16 months to 2020 and 2021 members!! 

We plan on making 2025 even better. Look forward to new things on Zoom and in our in-person programming, news on upcoming CERA-penned books and other featured products in our store and special deals on older titles in our inventory.

Please consider contributing to these efforts by renewing your membership, or becoming a new member. You can pay for your membership by check or credit card and online via our web site: www.cera-chicago.org/join. We accept PayPal.

CERA 2025 members will receive a hardbound book on an electric railway subject as a membership benefit. You can count on our publications to continue a long tradition of excellence in historical and contemporary electric railway research, while also being both informative and entertaining.
