I don't know about currently, but this used to happen in southeast California. Thieves would get on the train at Yermo (just east of Barstow), and wait until it got to Cima Hill (quite a steep grade, and in the middle of nowhere). While climbing the hill, the train would slow down to maybe 8 MPH. They would break into containers while the train was moving, and just throw stuff overboard. People driving on the parallel road would pick up the stuff and drive off.
