Peanuts frn wise. How many more scams like this one are still being played?

CN's $2.6M mystery U.S. trips never unloaded biodiesel (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2012/11/30/cn-biodiesel-mystery-shipment.html)




It all took place between June 15 and 28, 2010.

According to internal CN records, Train 503 shipped the biodiesel to Port Huron, Mich., from Sarnia, Ont.; Train 504 brought them back. The number of cars on the train would remain mostly the same, but cars were added and removed, between 68 and 89 cars at a time. As soon as the paperwork and car shuffling was completed, the trains made the return trip.

“This unit train will move at least once daily to Port Huron starting on Tuesday, June 18,” said an email written by Teresa Edwards, CN’s manager of transportation for Port Huron/Sarnia.



Looks like they might have made a 2 mile round trip.

It sure looks that way, crossing international boarders and sorta doing the cup and peanut trick!

So you have to wonder what was in the cars that were swapped out. Under the cover of flipping some other stuff got moved across the border perhaps. I'm guessing some kind of powdery alkaloid.
