A Port Alberni effort to restore railroad tracks and trains is being slowed down by recent acts of vandalism and theft totaling over $9,000.

Not cool - that’s history :-(

have we tried keeping people locked up in jail? that might help our exploding crime problems across the country

Boba :

I feel awful for these people. Port alberni railway is one of the greatest experiences on the island. The people there are amazing, kind and super knowledgeable. Would be awesome to start fundraising for another shed.

Well if people were held accountable for their actions rather than caught and release this wouldn’t be such an issue.

Why target this nonprofit rail system like what’s what’s in their heads that this is what they want to take their anger out on?

So sad

YeetSkirt :

I think we should invent some kind of dedicated building to keep people that do this stuff in for a predetermined amount of time. Because they can’t do this stuff if they’re in that building 🤷
