Western Railroad Discussion > More Tehachapi Depot

Today the Techachapi morning news says the fireworks masters are 31 and 36 years old.

Some "Kids"??

Book em Danno

P5r24, out

Maybe those so called kids should pay to rebuild of the depot.

No "maybe" or "should" about it, how about do it / pay for it OR ELSE !


TCS - no play nice

They should have listened to their Kids and stayed home in bed.

TCS is right,

I'll add this:
Give the two fireworks experts a Hammer and a Saw and make them help re-build the depot after they buy the materials.

If they do a good job - life in Prison rather than a Public Hanging.

P5r24

A certain witty local said to me that they should be placed in the witness protection program for their own safety...

You know, a northbound freight, a scrap filled gondola, or half filled coal car, they won't be found for weeks......

Or

There are several locations around there to make things disappear......

Certainly not kids.
I remember when Tehachapi was safe everywhere, it has changed a lot over the past couple of years.
The perps are old enough to know better. At minimum, they should be held financially accountable. When the debt is paid, then put them in jail. Sadly, if they are off shooting off fireworks at 3 am, they don't have a job, no family life, no skills and so on. Insurance and donations is going to be the way to bring the depot back.
Bet they will have fun facing arson charges!

I bet they get off!
After all this is california.

Gee, let me guess, you're not from California, are you.

They're out rich, they're not famous, so they won't get off. But sadly they won't have to pay to rebuild the depot either, just do their time at taxpayer expense. I think an empty covered hopper headed for Cadiz sounds about right...

Those so called kids are lucky that depot still wasn't owned by the UP.

Yeah, UP would have thanked them for clearing the property.

You should have typed "witless".

The local large correctional facility may want to change their name to avoid being associated with the town.

[Cheap shot, I know!]

Just put them on a UP train!

Take Care, Stay Safe, Have Fun!

California law allows the crime victims to speak up at sentencing hearings to request restitution payments. The courts have to allow such statements and the judge must take them into consideration in his sentencing. Perhaps we should be sure that several hundred people appear and demand restitution??
