NYS&WT&HS PASSENGER CARS BROKEN INTO AND FIXTURE STOLEN: Two bi-level passenger cars belonging to the NYS&W Technical & Historical Society were broken into and interior fixtures were stolen sometime during the week of March 6, 2005. The cars are former Chicago Metra commuter coaches. The thieves carefully removed the luggage racks, door handles, ventilation grilles, and even the rest room signs from the cars. The thieves even took the bolts and screws used to attach the fixtures to the cars. The theft does not appear to be the work of someone who wanted the fixtures for scrap value. The cars were in North Bergen, NJ awaiting shipment to Phillipsburg NJ, where they are to be used on the Societies Delaware River Excursions this summer. A reward is being offered for any information leading to the recovery of the stolen fixtures and or the arrest of the individuals involved. Anyone who has information on this can contact the society at: NYS&W, Technical & Historical Society, Inc. P.O. Box 121, Rochelle Park, NJ 07662, or at (877)-TRAINRIDE, or at information@nyswths.org. Any replies will be held in the strictest confidence.
