This week on Supply Chain Secrets, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver unpack the biggest trade development of the year: a surprise 90-day tariff pause between the U.S. and China. But don't be fooled—this isn't a trade deal, it's a ceasefire. Lars breaks down the predictable—and chaotic—domino effects already unfolding: empty shelves, congested ports, volatile freight rates, and a scramble to move peak-season cargo before the next deadline hits. Plus, they explore the latest NYSHEX Freight Index (NYFI) data and what it reveals about rates, equipment risk, and demand distortions. From peak season panic to port bottlenecks, this episode helps shippers brace for what's next.

Trains have long played a significant role in shaping the face of Florida dating back to when Henry Flagler laid the first tracks. Today, it feels like agriculture and much of our old Florida culture is tied to those tracks staring into the lights of a metaphorical runaway train of growth and development. In this episode, we look at some of the cultural events we've done in the first quarter of this year seeking to promote and preserve our heritage as well as discussing the pressures farming and ranching are facing throughout Florida during this era of rapid and explosive change.

Some differences between the Pan-It-X crew & the DIY Bandits crewThe role of "place" & how it influences music & scenesHow much did the Johnny Hobo songs actually reflect Pat's real life at the time & how much was just him singing in character?Were things like hitchhiking & riding freight trains stuff Pat actually did? Thoughts on the tinder Box in Brattleboro VT.Brook taking people to Harmony Parking LotHow do you all feel about being so popular with train hoppers & homeless kids, particularly those who take inspiration from Pat's early nihilistic, self-destructive lyrics to be nihilistic and self-destructive themselves?Does an artist have a responsibility to their listeners. Eg glorifying drugs, suicide, violence, crime etc or is the first responsibility to the art itself?How do you feel about fans putting people like Pat & Benjamin Tod on pedestals? Seemingly holding them solely responsible for their recoveries?"These days folk-punk is suffering because the artists aren't". It seems like the music was better when the people involved were "worse". Can you speak to that idea?Can I become rich & pay off my student loans with my old CDs.

On January 17, 2025, members of the Sinaloa Cartel executed a heist on a BNSF cargo train traveling north of Phoenix, Arizona. The cartel members reportedly severed the train's air brakes, forcing it to stop near Perrin, Arizona. They then offloaded approximately $202,500 worth of Nike merchandise from the train into a waiting box truck. Authorities were alerted after BNSF employees discovered the severed air hose and noticed suspicious activity nearby. Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of eleven individuals connected to the theft, nine of whom were in the United States illegally and six identified as natives of Sinaloa.This incident is part of a broader trend of cargo train robberies attributed to Mexican cartels. Over the past two years, such thefts have been on the rise, with cartels targeting trains carrying valuable goods like electronics, tools, and footwear. Their methods often involve sabotaging train systems, such as cutting air hoses or tampering with signal boxes, to halt the trains and facilitate the theft. The stolen merchandise is typically sold through online platforms or to cooperative retailers. Law enforcement agencies are intensifying efforts to combat this growing threat to supply chain security.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sinaloa Cartel's cargo train Nike shoe heist latest in criminal trend: experts | Fox News

About 20 years ago, Joey Santore went from illegally riding freight trains across the country to working as a “train man” for Union Pacific. His official duties, which included driving the trains, gave him a unique look at the decline of the East Bay's industrial sector and blue collar workforce. Spending time in decaying factories and train yards also sparked his interest in nature, as he saw plants and animals returning to repopulate these post-industrial spaces. Eventually Joey finally got fed up with his corporate railroad bosses and quit working on trains in order to focus full-time on nature. His wildly successful podcast and video series Crime Pays, but Botany Doesn't now attracts legions of fans from all over the world who tune in to hear Joey share his vast knowledge of plants along with a healthy dose of socio-political analysis thrown into the mix. Although Joey no longer lives in West Oakland, he returned for a visit recently to check on “the illegal garden” he left behind. While he was in town, we caught up on everything from his craziest memories of the train years to his observations about the Bay Area's many fascinating ecosystems.

Is there a cartridge that will reliably knock a deer or elk or bear over? Not unless it's named Ford, Chevy, or Dodge. Or maybe Freight Train. This episode takes a candid look at the idea of "knock-down power," mythbusting the notion and detailing how to determine a cartridge with real authority.  We define and explore kinetic energy, the TKO formula, momentum, and of course compare the numbers generated by popular cartridges such as the .30-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .375 Magnum.  Next we detail common visible impact reactions and explain what they say about the bullet used and the impact location of the shot. True stories of mule deer, elk, caribou, moose, whitetails, and more are told to showcase each situation... Including lung shots, heart shots, gut shots, and spine/nervous system impacts.  There's no such thing as knock-down power, folks. But there's SOMETHING. This episode digs deep into just what it is.

Of all the dozens of suspected thieves questioned by the detectives of the Train Burglary Task Force at the Los Angeles Police Department during the months they spent investigating the rise in theft from the city's freight trains, one man stood out. What made him memorable wasn't his criminality so much as his giddy enthusiasm for trespassing. That man, Victor Llamas, was a self-taught expert of the supply chain, a connoisseur of shipping containers. Even in custody, as the detectives interrogated him numerous times, after multiple arrests, in a windowless room in a police station in spring 2022, a kind of nostalgia would sweep over the man. “He said that was the best feeling he'd ever had, jumping on the train while it was moving,” Joe Chavez, who supervised the task force's detectives, said. “It was euphoric for him.”Some 20 million containers move through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach every year, including about 35 percent of all the imports into the United States from Asia. Once these steel boxes leave the relative security of a ship at port, they are loaded onto trains and trucks — and then things start disappearing. The Los Angeles basin is the country's undisputed capital of cargo theft, the region with the most reported incidents of stuff stolen from trains and trucks and those interstitial spaces in the supply chain, like rail yards, warehouses, truck stops and parking lots.In the era of e-commerce, freight train robberies are going through a strange revival.This story was recorded by Audm.
