OPINION
CHIN, District Judge.
In March 2006, four companies arranged to have their goods — including tractors, automotive components, ice makers, sushi cases, and copying machines — shipped from Asia to Long Beach, California by boat, and then transported across the United States by train to Georgia. The train, however, derailed in Texas on April 18, 2006, and the cargo aboard was damaged. Sompo Japan Insurance Company of America and Sompo Japan Insurance Inc. (together, “Sompo”), which insured the companies’ cargo, filed this action against the railroad carriers to recover for the damage.
