“ They were given a heads up from “some one” that a particular rail car with a particular ID number is transporting firearms.”

Happened a few years ago in the same yard. They got away with a bunch of Ruger single action revolvers IIRC.

Let’s guess the demographics. A sampling of things to come.

Don’t worry, your shipment of work boots are safe.

[umbagi]

Oh, please…

It’s K’mala this month!

[Revel]

The only way to send a message about this behavior is for the police to just start shooting looters.

From BRAVE AI:

Railroad crimes are not out of local police jurisdiction, but railroad police have their own jurisdiction over crimes committed against the railroad:

Railroad police jurisdiction

Railroad police have jurisdiction over crimes committed against the railroad, such as theft, trespassing, vandalism, and derailments. They may have the same arrest powers and the right to bear firearms as other police officers.

Local police jurisdiction

Local police are responsible for law enforcement in their jurisdiction, and may be required to deal with matters that occur on railroad property.

Railroad police support

Railroad police may support local police at incidents not related to the railroad. They may also coordinate with local, state, and federal law enforcement on issues concerning the railroad.

Railroads created their own police forces to address issues like theft, vandalism, and trespassing, which became more prevalent as communities grew around railroads and local law enforcement agencies didn’t have the resources to handle them.

The America I remember is DEAD.

[vivenne]

I didn’t know that. Thank you for informing me : )

[Cobra64]

If I were mayor, I’d tell,the cops to shoot the looters.

[blueplum]

do not all those tvs have identifying numbers that show up when connecting for the first time to cable/wifi networks? trace them to the street address of service and let the party begin

Shipment is safe. Boot are safe. Shipment of boots is safe.

That’s why I asked.

It’s something John Ross wrote in “Unintended Consequences” having to do with controlling union mobs at railroad strikes.

I figured someone here might recall the quote and/or the atribution.
