ERREC — Preserving the Past. Moving It Into the Future.

Extreme Railfan Redwood Empire Corporation (ERREC) is in a race against time to save the historic Jane Marie lounge railcar before it is lost forever. This one-of-a-kind railcar is a surviving symbol of classic American passenger rail — and without immediate action, its future is at serious risk.

Funds raised through this GoFundMe will go toward purchasing the railcar, transporting it to safety, and beginning critical preservation work. The costs are significant, but the loss of this historic railcar would be permanent.

The Jane Marie is more than a railcar — it is a traveling piece of history. ERREC’s goal is to preserve and restore it for public display, special events, and educational outreach so future generations can experience firsthand what classic rail travel once looked like.

Every donation, share, and show of support brings us closer to saving the Jane Marie. Time is critical, and your help today can make the difference between preservation and loss.

Help us protect this piece of railroad history — and ensure the past continues to move into the future.
