Does anyone know a museum or other institution that would be willing to take this large vintage railway wheel(?) press? It's marked "Chambersburg Engineering Co., No. 863", and a long time ago it was used to help maintain rail cars at the Port of San Francisco. Unfortunately it's going to the scrap yard this week because no museums we've tried are willing to come haul it away. boosts appreciated.

edit: Sorry folks, there was less time than I thought. It's already out the door this morning 😔

This is a pretty low budget, punk museum, that focuses more with hobo culture than the industrial aspect of rail culture, but as a last ditch, who knows they may be interested and they have a lot of space. Also, a very cool place to visit if you're headed up I-5 past Mount Shasta/Weed area in Northern California.
