YOU CAN HELP RECOVER RAILROAD HISTORY
Posted March 7, 2007
On the last day of the LA County Fair, someone went into the cab of the UP Big Boy and stole the "Steam Heat Pressure Gauge" out of the cab.

The lock or chain was cut and taken along with the car, the tools, spikes, track bolts, etc. were carefully placed along side the track where the car was parked and the car was moved several hundred feet to a crossing where it was loaded onto a truck or trailer."
The the motorcar had a Ford V-8 and either a Borg or New Process transmission.
