If they really wanted it to stop, it could be EASILY stopped on the next attempt, & I do mean EASILY.
They really are not interested in stopping it.
Heard today that Union Pacific is telling CA that they will vacate CA if it's not fixed, but that's just lip service, IMO.
MM 100% true , !

Time to reenact the battle of Bembesi. Complete with Maxims!

One article I read a few days ago was that UP threatened to leave LA County, not California. Said they had arrested over 100. DA declined to prosecute or dismissed charges on all.

Some big iron tossing heavy boolits would turn that into a sport.
Pay per view dat chit. Feed a few dozen of them through a large wood chipper, like in the movie FARGO, and they might be discouraged from continuing to loot trains. Or, put them into empty covered hopper cars and leave those cars on a siding in either a really hot or really cold place for a few days. Maybe it would be kinder just to chip them and recycle the output to feed the Earth.

Bruce If UP stopped moving shipping containers from the Port of LA through LA that would tighten an already thight bottleneck. Plus, UP would be missing out on an important revenue stream, so I think that their threat was just a threat.

I read a news piece this morning (but can't find it again) that they are bringing in a bunch of UP Railroad Police to deal with it because the LA cops won't. Those RR cops are notoriously effective at "dissuading" people.
Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

I had read that when the story first broke - RR cops were the ones with jurisdiction, not the LAPD/CHiPs etc.

So, are you saying that the LAPD, LACSD, and CHP can't enforce laws on private UP property?
