Some of those Rudge knock off wheels can be worth US$10,000 to US$50,000 a set! An unrestored set sold on ebay recently for US$10,000!
A shame indeed!

"VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - A car-carrier loaded with vintage Porsches was struck
by a freight train Sunday after becoming stranded on railroad tracks,
officials said.
The accident occurred about 3:45 p.m. near the Ventura County Fairgrounds,
said Lt. David Wilson of the Ventura Police Department, who was at the
scene.
The car-carrier was "high-centered" on the railroad tracks and the
driver was trying to maneuver it off the tracks when Wilson arrived. Wilson
said he called to have train traffic stopped, but a northbound freight train
came barreling down the track only moments later. "We were able to get the
driver out of the cab, luckily," Wilson said. The driver suffered minor
injuries while fleeing from the impact, Wilson said.
The vintage Porsches "are close to totaled, if not totaled," Wilson said.
"The train center-punched the trailer carrying the cars and split the
trailer in half, and the cars went flying," he said. No crew members on the
train were injured, but the front wheels of the locomotive derailed, said
John Bromley, a spokesman for Union Pacific. Debris was being removed from
under the locomotive late Sunday night and there was no estimate on when the
tracks would be cleared, Bromley said. "
