Solar Panels Stolen from Union Pacific Railroad in Butte County
Posted on April 1, 2009 by kpayeditor
Another case of stolen solar panels in Butte County. Union Pacific Railroad recently reported the theft of 8 solar panels and 16 batteries from the railroad in the Feather River Canyon near Pulga. The Butte County Sheriff’s Office says the missing equipment caused an interruption in the communication and control systems of the railroad, jeopardizing the safe passage of trains. But authorities say Union Pacific was able to isolate the problem before any accidents occurred. The loss of property is estimated at $20,000. This is the third local stolen solar panel investigation in recent months.
