1776 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 By the way, we made a road trip last year to Fredericksburg to see a game at the new baseball park-nice! As Jim Price would say, Nice area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfife Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Just to help with the conversation, I made this picture. I put a red box around the current devastating market crash. And also I but a green box around the market crash that never happened. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oblong Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Aren't the railroads responsible for security on their railroads since it's their property? If I did business with a storage company that was always being broken into and my stuff stolen then I would expect them to do something about it or I would find another storage solution. Railroads are not public property. When a city or county wants to build a road through a crossing it's up to the public to do the infrastructure. That was the deal the US Gov't made with them in order for them to agree to build the rails at their own cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class I railroads have their own police that have jurisdictions on their property. UPRR's police, like the other Class I's, are certified state law enforcement officers with investigative and arrest powers both on and off railroad property in most states. They also have interstate law enforcement authority pursuant to federal law. To be clear, there's overlap with local law enforcement, but yeah, UPRR bears a lot of responsibility for what happens on their ROW... and I'm not sure that LAPD or CHP would be first in the chain of command here.

Pinkerton's did a lot of things that were more high profile, but railroad work was bread and butter for them in their early days (post civil war) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cowan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Stock prices plummeted at an alarming rate this morning, because of the shocking weakness of the economy under Joe Biden's mismanagement. In afternoon trading, the strong economy left in place by Donald Trump caused stock prices to post positive results for the day. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Biden called Peter Doocey a stupid some of a bitch today. of course Brit Hume is on fox talking about how presidents should be above name calling reporters.

Yesterday was a very volatile day. Were starting out again today with all three major indexes down over 2%. There's nothing fake about what's going on in the markets. I would hold on tight for a while. It could be a very rough ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
