It's always depressing to read of these things but I think this has become a serious issue for heritage railways everywhere.

It's perhaps become a bit of a commonality, but it is 'heartbreaking': they've stolen not only those historic lamps, but also the original tools he's collected over the years.  Angry

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Hopefully those that stole these items will soon realise what they mean to others and quickly realise they won't be able to sell them on, and either return them or at least leave them somewhere to be found

HOPS, which provides a number of services to Heritage Railways, now offers a page where stolen items are reported and so other railways are alerted in case they are offered them.
