Railway Age, Jan, 2004
Union Pacific and Ferrocarril Mexicano (Ferromex) began offering a new all-rail, seven-day intermodal service between Los Angeles and the Mexican cities of Guadalajara and Mexico City in December. The railroads--which interchange over the El Paso/Ciudad Juarez gateway--provide seamless, ramp-to-ramp, TransBorder service. Shipments bypass customs at the border, and instead clear customs in Mexico.
Customers can choose EMP equipment in either 48-foot standard or 53-foot high cube containers. They also can make reservations around-the-clock and track shipments within the U.S. and Mexico.
For northbound shipments, the service will be available six days a week, and southbound, five days a week. Traffic is expected to be mixed freight, including consumer items and manufactured goods. UP anticipates that additional U.S. and Mexican cities along the route will be included in the near future.
