WF RAILROAD MUSEUM VANDALIZEDThursday, June 30, 2005 The following appread today without attribution to its original source in a museum security mailing list:Workers at the Wichita Falls Railroad Museum are trying to clean up after some overnight vandalism. Officials say it happened sometime between 4pm yesterday afternoon and 11am this morning. It is believed a fire extinguisher was used to break the window of an old 1920`s railroad car under renovation. The vandals then painted gang signs on the cars windows and newly installed carpet. The museum was in the process of turning the car into an dining facility, a nearly $10,000 project. Now museum officials are left wondering what to do. Museum officials estimate the vandals caused about $5,000 in damage. If you have any information your asked to call the Wichita Falls Police Department. |
