ATLANTA (November 30, 2012)--Authorities are searching for dozens of rifles stolen from a train car somewhere in metro Atlanta.

More than 100 rifles were taken from a CSX boxcar.

CSX Corp. spokesman Gary Sease said the company is cooperating with law enforcement to recover the weapons.

Sease declined to say when or where the thefts occurred.

A CSX statement said the company is working with law enforcement officers on the thefts in what the company called "a rigorous investigation led by them."

Jacksonville, Fla.-based CSX Corp. has a rail network which includes about 21,000 miles of track in 23 states.
