Union Pacific has seen the worst of losses, is downsizing really the root cause? 🚆 engineering
Images of thousands of plastic wrappers, cardboard boxes, and packaging lying along railway tracks in Los Angeles have dominated social media for a few days now. It is quite well known now that trains carrying e-commerce shipments are being robbed in broad daylight in the city but fixing the problem is difficult when concerned parties are engaged in a blame game,Train robberies might sound like an artifact from yesteryears when bandits rode on horsebacks to catch up with chugging trains.
Police Capt. German Hurtado told WSJ and the LAPD through its efforts had arrested over 125 people since August. In its January 16 post, UP has refuted this allegation and claimed that 1,600 staff monitor its 275 miles of track in Los Angeles county. It has also deployed, specialized fencing, and trespass detection systems to contain the crime but out of the hundreds of arrests that UP agents have made, less than half have been booked and many released within 24 hours.
The company had also written to District Attorney last year requesting stricter enforcement of laws for those apprehended but WSJ reported that the District Attorney cases were being dismissed for absence of evidence or allegation of theft or burglary. The number of cases where UP was affected had in fact been falling over the past few years and other railroad operators in the area were not affected by these"crimes.
