8 years later, this would come to bite the Ports of Long Beach and LA in their cabooses. Now the trains are the bottle necks with large scale train robberies for Amazon booty. No day goes by without a major robbery of shipping container trains sitting along the tracks while waiting in one of the toughest LA hoods. The tracks are so full of garbage the track switchers can't operate properly and there is a derailment every couple of weeks.
Assume these pier side assembled trains are designed to go straight through DTLA to points east with no slowdown that would allow a person to easily jump on a train. The freight trains that are assembled in DTLA rail yards were noted as being 53 foot containers packed with UPS, Amazon boxes in local warehouses and were subject to the looting observed. Hopefully UP will take action on “hardening” these containers versus looking at it as a cost of doing business.
Well alot all those trains actually interchange in Chicago but I'm pretty sure that they also interchange with other railroads including CSX and Northfolk Southern as well so I'm pretty sure they go further east and southeast you know maybe even also possibly to some ports to the East Coast cuz I know Norfolk Southern was trying to gain access to sum East Coast Ports as well as CSX soo its gonna get even better with time 💯💯
The longest train in the US was back in January 2010. 18,061 feet long, 9 engines and 294 rail cars.

Pretty incredible. I wonder how Far East trains go from the ports of LA/LB
