Locomotive Trucks Vandalized

Sometime over last weekend unknown person(s) entered the Oregon Pacific storage yard in Milwaukie, Or and stole all of the journal brasses (8) and thrust brasses (8) from our spare set of switcher trucks.

This is particularly disturbing in that this pair of trucks is from our SW-8 #802, (ex-SP 4622 still with operational dynamic brakes) and were intended to be put back under the 802 to replace the current roller bearing set when it is restored to SP paint in the near future. I believe they were standard EMD switcher style..6 1/2 x 12.

They went to a lot of work as they had to remove the thrust springs and jack them up one journal at a time to remove the wedges and brasses. I'd really rather they stick to stealing horns...in this case the Druggies get a "fix" and historic preservation is set back once again.
