The main problem is Blake's surprise when Adam mentions setting charges. Blake doesn't know Adam was planning on killing the crew and so figuring out what the plan was is more difficult. Based on Weiss' statements, the White Fang only seemed to attack people of great influence in the SDC as they would be the ones responsible for the unfair treatment of Faunus workers within their company, not simple train operates. Also the crew of the train may have nothing at all to do with the SDC and are just doing their job as train operators, also leading to Blake's hesitation.

However when Blake is talking to Sun, she mentions that the WF have never needed so much Dust before, which is why she doesn't think they are the ones stealing it left and right. This could imply that the WF at the time only stole the Dust they needed and would destroy the rest, thus hurting the SDC. As seen with Adam, his plan was to completely destroy the train and all the merchandise of the SDC.

This changed when Blake cut the line for the train cars. Adam was left in the middle of nowhere with a large train full of Dust. He may have contacted other WF members and they either took all the Dust or took some and destroyed the rest; making Weiss believe all of it was stolen. In fact just having all that Dust may have put the WF on Cinder's radar, leading to the WF aiding Roman in Cinder's plan.
