Law enforcement in California... the LA area especially but not only... has not done a good job at all keeping theives from targeting rail shipments. It has become so bad that the rail companies are moving their intermodal yards far away from the cities they are currently near. So if a shipment comes into Long Beach destined for Los Angeles, the train carrying it won't stop until it is out in the desert somewhere, well outsite of the LA area. The cargo will then be shipped back into Los Angeles. You may need to look at that on a map to understand it. Customers around the country have lost a lot of money because California doesn't care about theft. As busy as the Port of Long Beach is, if the rail companies didn't do something about it on their own, California could very easily bring down the country. As is, they are contributing to the inflation we are all experiencing. * SLMR 2.1a * "Dude!
