[Jim Holland]

Good Morning!!

	Immediately talk to Pennsylvania State Police about alerting eBay and
making a possible sting operation here!

	This is being circulated to a number of other lists as well.    Please
share with other traction and railroad lists; this is a loss for all of
us.

	THANK  YOU  Scott and Michael for sharing this information.

	Best Wishes for successful recovery.

Jim

  From the Anthracite List:

  "Last night, thieves forcibly broke in at the Strasburg Rail Road's
engine house, and took the following items:

1.)--The number plates from engines #31, #90, #475.
2.)--Classification lights from engines #31, and #89.
3.)--1 new classification light.
4.)--6 rear end marker lamps, 4 kerosene, and 2 converted to
	battery operation.
5.)--1 photograph of engine #89 on the Green Mountain.
	Side view with specifications.
6.)--1 Strasburg Rail Road rule book. Red loose leaf format.
7.)--1 Small (about ½ normal size) locomotive brass bell and yoke.
8.)--1 ICC steam locomotive defect chart.

	They also forced open (and destroyed in the process) a steel door to
the back shop, but we haven't spotted anything missing from in there
yet.
	It appears that there were two perpetrators in that they left many
footprints and tire tracks in the snow. Pennsylvania State Police are
investigating. They seemed to have a specific "shopping list" in that
they took only railfan collectibles, and only specific ones at that.
	We at the Strasburg Rail Road ask for the help of the community to
return our property to us, and to bring these criminals to justice.   
If anyone has any information, please call the Strasburg Rail Road at
717-687-8421
