Since December 2020, Union Pacific has experienced an over 160% increase in theft in criminal rail theft in LA county,” he said. “In several months during that period, the increase from the previous year surpassed 200%. In October 2021 alone, the increase was 356% over October 2020.”
Anchors on morning news have been quick to point out that there have been over 100 arrests, and even Forbes have been quick to point out the staggering $5 million worth of merchandise lifted.
Seeing a train of flatcars loaded with those shipping containers they could be carrying anything. But one article I saw shows a string of flatcars in that garbage dump loaded with trailers clearly labeled UPS and Fedex. That's a pretty good indication they're full of stuff people want so would be easy to sell.
