Keep hearing of train burglaries in LA on the scanner so went to #LincolnHeights to see it all. And… there’s looted packages as far as the eye can see. Amazon packages, @UPS boxes, unused Covid tests, fishing lures, epi pens. Cargo containers left busted open on trains. @CBSLA
WOW! Maybe your missing or delayed package is on the side of the railroad tracks.

And, as we have also discussed in recent weeks, one place where this growth slowdown is emerging – besides the upcoming deterioration in US consumption where spending is now being funded to record rates by credit cards before it encounters a troubling air pocket – is China and its “covid-zero” policy in general, and its covid-locked down ports in particular.
But what until recently was a minority view confined to our modest website, has since expanded and as Bloomberg writes overnight, the effects of restrictions in China as the country maintains its Covid-zero policy “are starting to hit supply chains in the region.” As a result of the slow movement of goods through some of the country’s busiest and most important ports means shippers are now diverting to Shanghai, causing the types of knock-on delays at the world’s biggest container port that led to massive congestion bottlenecks last summer that eventually translated into a record number of container ships waiting off the coast of California, a glut that hasn’t been cleared to this day.
I recently went to Costco to buy batteries for the truck. While i was there i asked them if they could give me a quote on a set of BFG KO2's for it. they gave me a quote... but they are out of stock... the dude called me back next Monday - sorry, my suppliers can't say when we will have them in stock. you can pay for them but we don't know when you'll be able to get them...

That Twitter thread is really disturbing.
My question is where the hell are UPRR Police? In my great-grandfather's day, if this had been done on the New York Central there would have been generous distribution of free hickory shampooings... and it's a safe bet if it had gotten this large and visible in Chicago the "Outfit" might have stepped in too because their rackets depended on maintaining an *appearance* of order and control. Onesy-twosy here and there is one thing, but ransacking entire trains... that's just Bad for Business for everyone.

Consider that Great-Grandpa retired in the late 1930s... back then railroad bulls were some of the toughest men in LE.

I remember hearing stories of some NW drag racer that would strip drivetrain parts off car carrying trains while they were moving. I'm not sure if it was the same guy, but i also remember hearing of them knocking over dealerships for 426's hemi's. They'd unbolt a 1/2 dozen bolts, torch the frame and wheel them off like wheelbarrows.
As for where the railroad guys are, they are probably too busy making sure people arent illegally crossing train tracks with fishing poles.

I can't verify the numbers he's throwing out there, but I don't doubt for one second that sidelining a few thousand drivers and their trucks will only make the current supply chain issues and price inflation a whole lot worse. But I'm pretty sure that's the point. If you want radical, lasting change, you have to have the people demand it of you. And in order for that to happen, you have to tear down the status quo and create a problem to solve. Then you can swoop in to "save the day" with your radical, self-serving agenda. We're in the tear-down phase, in case anyone wasn't sure.

A top Union Pacific Railroad official threatened to leave Los Angeles over the District Attorney's progressive measures to lower criminal theft offenses amid a wave of criminal gangs looting rail cars.
Adrian Guerrero, Union Pacific's director of public affairs, wrote a letter to LA County District Attorney George Gascón, denouncing the local government's relaxed criminal policies, or rather "well-intentioned social justice goals," as a catalyst for a wave of rail car thefts.
"We find ourselves coming back to the same results with the Los Angeles County criminal justice system. Criminals are caught and arrested, turned over to local authorities for booking, arraigned before local courts, charges are reduced to a misdemeanor or petty offense, and the criminal is released after paying a nominal fine," wrote Guerrero.
He said most criminals robbing trains search for Amazon and UPS packages, are released back onto the streets within a day.
Guerrero said the thefts are so severe and costing the company millions of dollars that it has been "contemplating serious changes to our operating plans to avoid Los Angeles County."
