When you’ve got two railroad cops vs. one hobo, my money is on the railroad cops. But do you do when there are two railroad cops vs. a gang of maybe 20 looters? Either accept the losses, or reroute your trains so they don’t go through urban areas.

As a side note, I wonder if anyone is designing a tamper-proof freight car. That might work.

In one reported incident, the armed gang held the switch yard man at gunpoint until the target train went down the desired track.

Then they let him throw the switch.
