The Baltimore Streetcar Museum has hired its first-ever full-time employee: executive director Matthew W. Nawn. Nawn will help the museum grow as a cultural institution that shares the fascinating history of transit in and around Baltimore.

Nawn brings 25 years of experience in the public sector to his new position. Most recently, he served in a leadership role at the Federal Transit Administration as the Chief of Technical Services. He is also a long-time BSM volunteer and a lifelong streetcar enthusiast who grew up just a stone’s throw from the Red Arrow Lines near Philadelphia.

The Baltimore Streetcar Museum was founded in 1966 by several members of the local National Railroad Historical Society chapter. It maintains and operates a fleet of historic streetcars. For more information, visit baltimorestreetcarmuseum.org. —Railfan & Railroad Staff
