Sheriff Rick Davis praised the work of the two deputies who apprehended the suspects while investigating suspicious activities on the tracks...
found the suspects in possession of over 500 spikes that had been taken from a stretch of active rail road track.
“This act of theft could have easily had catastrophic consequences had a train derailed in this area,” Davis said. “A spillage of chemicals or other hazardous materials as a result of a derailment certainly puts our citizens at risk, as well as the emergency services personne

Why the heck were they stealing railroad spikes? Is there a giant Mexican suicide bomber in the making somewhere?

Just sayin’.

Stupid though, since they would be questioned by any legit recycler.

Odd that they would keep them.
It’s their best defense against the charge of sabotage.
Whats the price of steel at the moment?

I can think of a million sources of scrap iron without having to destroy property or endanger people.

Agreed. The punishment should “fit” the crime.

Why steal railroad spikes? They can only ever be used as railroad spikes, since steel doesn’t melt. /Rosie
