Maybe somebody in the rail industry can shed some light on this. The carseals they take off to get to the nozzles/drain points. Any carseal I've ever seen has a serial number on it. If they cut it off and put a new one on, it would have a different serial number. And given that it's such a federal case if any of this chemical goes missing, I'd be damn sure that those numbers are recorded and verified upon arrival.

I don't buy that madrigal would have been able to obtain the car seal numbers and have a replica created.

No real point to that rant, really.
Generally in shipping, seal numbers are logged on the manifests or bills of lading; which Lydia had access too. They looked like the cheap tin kind that are just stamped with a number and would be easy to copy, not the fancier embossed plastic ones with company logos and stuff.
