A big part of this is those mile-long trains have to park "somewhere" and that can't be rail yards 'cause they're too big to fit.

So this wind-up being as if Fedex, to save money, eliminated their own parking lots and parked their trucks in the sketchy parts of town - and then demanded the cities eliminate the homeless 'cause their truck kept getting broken into.

That’s the premise of self-checkouts: reduce your internal costs, increase your risk and externalize the costs of those risks to someone else.
