In this Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2017, photo, a patron of a Grand Crossing neighborhood car wash finishes off cleaning his car next to several Norfolk Southern train locomotives in Chicago. The 2015 heist of over 100 guns, preceded by one in 2014, and another last September from a Chicago rail yard highlight a tragic confluence. Chicago’s biggest rail yards are on the gang- and homicide-plagued South and West Sides where most of the city’s hundreds of killings happened last year. Residents near the yard are angry the multibillion-dollar railroad isn’t doing more to stop the thefts. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast)
