Moral of the story...Don’t ship by train. Put it on a truck at the port and move it across country that way.

The Railroad company could stop the theft if it wanted to.

355 k from one boxcar. How many boxcars on one train? Who gets the ten percent to look the other way? Pols vs guards?

I’m pretty sure the truth is That the railroad company says to itself ;”well they have insurance and the insurance will pay for it”. I’ve heard that story and that tune many times over the years

I remember seeing a story about cargo thefts in LA., here’s a sampling. https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/whos-the-blame-la-da-gascon-fires-back-saying-union-pacific-doesnt-protect-its-cargo/2802271/

How Californians can put up with this is beyond me. The picture looks like a landfill as do many of the recent photos I see coming out of anyplace in California. Even feral dogs don’t soil their nests like feral humans. Beyond disgusting.

I hope every single shipper/merchant sues the state successfully.

If it is a California port, it might take some time to get it on a truck. In a few years it might be hard to get a diesel truck to even access the port.
