The individual distributors pack the trains. Blaming the railroads is asinine. How about go get some police chiefs and politicians that allow the police force do their fucking job
The rules that apply to the trailer you are pulling are not the same as a freight car that is part of a leasing pool and leased out and packed by the customer. I’m sure there are insurance claims right and left in both situations but suing a railroad company for having the misfortune of passing through a lawless shithole seems unproductive
*my point is that better securing the contents of boxcars is not addressing the primary problem, If rail customers don’t want their products getting stolen in transit they can secure the box in any variety of ways, the creepy crawlies in lawless shithole CA running wild is the more pressing issue
They've hired extra police staff--- the problem is really the DA immediately freeing everyone they catch. It's a fragile line, restraint mostly, holding LA from total lawlessness.
Union Pacific already called out the D.A. It's not the freight destined for LA, though. It's the freight coming through the ports for the rest of the country, so they're competing against Portland, Oakland and Seattle. Eventually Houston and Miami, but... somethings gotta happen before that. Two weeks more, right?
