With all the cargo coming in and out of these yards, day in day out night and day three hundred and sixty five days a year there is no way for the government to monitor everything! This is a little fact that many use to their full advantage hobos who ride the rails for free going hither and thither, illegal immigrants who hide in trains to get across the boarder. Of course if these people are unlucky enough to be caught by the railroad bulls* they are in for a serious beating. However some like the mafia members hand grander schemes and used the gaps in rail security. Anything from bringing in goods of questionable legality to bumping of some would be competitor or stool pigeon. So if you choose to visit this place remember fast moving trains are far from the only danger you may face!
*railroad bulls = railroad police owned by that particular rail road to keep the train free of hitchhikers and ensure no one messed with the cargo, etc. However they were given free rail to punish transgressors as they saw fit.
