JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Military authorities and police are investigating the theft, vandalism and arson overnight to a train carrying support equipment for the Army's 101st Airborne Division.

The train -- carrying the military equipment to the port at Blount Island for shipment to the Persian Gulf -- was stopped about 2:30 a.m. at Main Street and Eastport Road as it approached a rail yard when the incident happened.

Investigators with local police, the FBI, the Army, the Department of Defense Search and railroad police searched the train to determine exactly what was stolen.

Authorities said the items taken included tools, batteries, gas cans, even field rations. Some of what was stolen was thrown near the tracks and set on fire.

Channel 4's Tammie Fields found a trail of meals-ready-to-eat packages, some of them opened, leading into an apartment complex by the tracks.

CSX officials said that the railroad police provide special security to military shipments, and patrol the tracks around-the-clock.

"We're working very closely with both local police and the FBI, and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law," CSX spokeswoman Jane Covington said. "We take incidents like this very seriously."

The FBI and Jacksonville Sheriff's Office both said they are not the lead agency in the investigation, but didn't know who was.
