Railroad Company May Bypass LA Due to Gascon’s Soft-on-Crime Policies

'We do not take this effort lightly, particularly during the supply chain crisis, as this drastic change to our operations will create significant impacts...'

The Union Pacific (UP) railroad, in a letter to Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, said it may discontinue service to LA after videos of the looting went viral according to a letter obtained by local CBS News and published on Twitter.

“UP considering rerouting it’s trains out of LA county,” said a tweet from CBS News reporter Kristine Lazar. “UP asks DA to be harder on theives. Says they’re back out on the tracks a day after released.”

The railroad company estimated that up to 90 shipping containers each day are breached and looted in the county, a 356% increase.

It blamed “social justice” policies of the county for the increase in crime and said that the Gascon should do more to hold criminals accountable—while protecting Union Pacific employees and the local and national railroad infrastructure.

Haha.

What are they gonna do -- move the railroad (and the container port along with it) ??

They also have intermodal terminals in Tacoma, Seattle and Portland -- although those may be "at capacity" right now and "plugged up" as well.

Methinks the top management at UP had better come up with a more proactive solution than threatening letters...

I believe you.  You are my go-to guy when it comes to the rails.  It's an empty threat.
