Back in the day, every hobo knew that the U.P. bulls were the roughest and meanest. The U.P. did not tolerate anyone on their right-of-way or property. The old ways are the best ways. The U.P. has got to get back to breaking heads.

They need to go past considering it and go ahead and do it.

They should reroute.

There needs to be consequences for elected officials not enforcing the law.

LA’s response that they want to talk in coming weeks, indicates they aren’t taking it serously now.

Let the talk in coming weeks about what it will take to get Union Pacific to come back.

Reminds me of the savages that attack trucks before they go into the Chunnel between France and the UK.

I wonder if the Railroad will face racism charges for trying to do what insurance companies and banks have tried to do (Stay out of da ghetto)

Other story more ominous if a future passenger train has to use any local rails there/ This one was freight only....

11 hours ago — The derailment caused 17 train cars to go off the tracks, Union Pacific said in a statement.

Is it possible that there can be a surcharge for shipping into the Los Angeles? Why should Everyone have to pay increased prices because los angeles can’t keep their criminals from looting the trains.

I was going to be a wise ass and compare that pic of LA to Mogadishu but the Mog looks better.

Maybe a slum in Kampala, but again, even with the animal carcasses, there’ a semblance of order.

Angelinos should hang their heads in shame.

Remember the days when you could sit at a crossing and watch the new auto's go by ? Graffiti was a rarity.

Progress. /S

I just wonder how they can re-route the trains? They seem to be going to and from port of LA.
I am not sure there is any useful alternative route?!
