Yup. Suspected arson.
Here's what's on WPRM's Facebook page:
WP Railroad Hospital, part of the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Portola, has been burned in a reported act of arson. The building is a total loss, not the kind of news you want to wake up to at 2:30 in the morning. The staff of the FRRS is saddened and VERY angry that someone in the local community would do this to us. A severe punch in the gut. We hope and pray that the suspected arsonist is caught, and once they are, we hope they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
