BNSF Train Heist Sparks Industry Alarm | Long Beach News
A BNSF train caught fire early Thursday in Riverside as thieves jumped aboard and began raiding freight cars—part of a rising wave of organized cargo theft targeting rail lines across the country. The incident, occurring around 4:40 AM near Chicago Street, saw one container already ablaze and the lengthy train stretching from Colton to Home Gardens, complicating emergency response. BNSF, already grappling with similar attacks—including a $50K boot heist in Amboy and a deadly confrontation where thieves shot at officers—says these aren’t random acts but coordinated crimes stealing medicine, tools, and essentials worth hundreds of thousands. The railroad is pushing for harsher penalties, warning that these aren’t victimless crimes and calling for a unified law enforcement and legal response to stop the brazen thefts before they escalate.
