    Someone has been stealing, over the last week, cannibalized grade
    crossing signal equipment that was going to be used to rehab some
    signals that have weathered the worst. If anyone sees the following
    below on EBay or elsewhere, please send me a message. I will
    personally buy yourself and spouse (or significant other) a dinner
    at the Far Western Tavern in Guadalupe, CA or the Hitching Post in
    Casmalia, CA. (or an equivalent gift card). I WILL KNOW HOW TO
    IDENTIFY THE EQUIPMENT. List follows:

    US&S Grade crossing bells-big and heavy-heart shape
    RACO GS Gate mechanisms-hydraulically operated
    RACO Crossing Bells - round
    RACO 2 way (front and back lights) 8" crossing lights (can be
    identified by RACO on the back of the light housings and the
    crossarm cover.
    SAFETRAN Model "S" and "SM" gate mechanisms (with counterweights)
    Cast Iron Junction Box Mast Bases with US&S markings
    14 foot tall thick wall steel 14' and 16' 4 inch masts (pipe)

    This is heavy stuff- 2 or 3 people and a long bed truck out of a
    lighted and locked area.

    I would appreciate any info that any of you may have...we are trying
    to rebuild and rejuvenate the operation of the SMV under new
    ownership, but this beats all I've ever seen.

    Any responses will be kept completely confidential.

    Many Thanks in Advance,

    D
