UP & BNSF pay top dollar to keep their premier customer cars unmarked (tag free) and the customers pay for this service, also.

The big roads pay hundreds of millions a year trying to keep their cars tag free. Part of the solution is to always send the tagged cars to the same areas. That's part of the reason behind your always seeing the same cars in the same area.

Let's not get started on the hobo population this time around. The ones out there now are trash for the most part.

Deadly force is authorized? By whom? For trespassing and vandalism?
