Vandalism Hits Historic Train Museum | Wichita News

Vandalism struck the Great Plains Transportation Museum in Wichita, Kansas, with serious damage to four vintage locomotives and train cars—some 70 to 80 years old—costing an estimated $10,000 to repair. Broken windows, graffiti, and even oil drained from a locomotive left the historic site reeling. This is the worst incident this summer, and the museum’s director is already fencing off a rooftop access point used by vandals. Volunteers will handle repairs over two to three months, but original historic glass can’t be replaced, threatening authenticity. As a nonprofit, every dollar spent on repairs is a dollar lost for rent and restoration. Help them recover—donate at GPTM.
