CSX has successfully reduced cargo theft in the Memphis area by over 80% compared to a year ago, implementing a task force and operational changes at its Leewood Yard. This initiative involved strategic security enhancements like extended fencing, improved lighting, and surveillance cameras, alongside operational adjustments such as direct train routes to minimize dwell times. The railroad plans to use this blueprint to address similar issues in other locations.
