The Great Modesto Crossbuck Heist

A team comprised of Wayne Monger, Derick Sturke, Ted Benson, Eugene Vicknair and Doug Morgan spent the day removing TS crossbucks donated to the Feather River Rail Society by the Union Pacific Railroad from the Ninth Street and Aurora areas. The bucks will one day be restored and some placed on display. It was quite an interesting day with the crew trooping through downtown Modesto on a Saturday morning with chainsaws and other tools of destruction. No one even gave us a second look. Ted Benson entertained us all by performing bits from a recent "South Park" episode.
