Can anyone provide the Eastern details of this
equipment move? What are the 450 cars?
"KCS extends business into Mexico with unique
move
"For more than a year, the Kansas City Southern
sales team of Steve Milligan, assistant vice
president international marketing, and Al Ortiz,
marketing account director in Mexico City, have
been working on securing a unique move of 450
carloads that illustrates the NAFTA Railway's
ability to extend service into Mexico. The first
move of old passenger cars to Bombardier of
Mexico began recently.
"The customer leased flat cars and welded track
panels on the cars. The rail passenger cars were
then loaded on the flat cars via a ramp in the
Fresh Pond Yard of the New York and Atlantic
Railway (LIRR) via Canadian Pacific to Norfolk
Southern at Meridian, MS. The cars then move from
Norfolk Southern at Meridian to KCS, Tex Mex and
finally TFM. - KCS News, courtesy Larry W. Grant"
[The routing must be a little garbled.]
