PANAMAX - Effect Upon US Roads

This Journal article suggests that PANAMAX could well become PANAMIM:

Fair Use:

The Panama Canal is going through its driest spell in more than a century, and an extended lack of rainfall could saddle global supply chains with delays and higher fees to move cargo.

The government agency that manages the artificial waterway implemented travel restrictions in May to avoid ships running aground, and since then some large vessels have had to reduce container loads by roughly one-quarter.

While the article notes that some maritime companies are resorting to using the PCRY (CPKC) as a "land bridge" thence transitting the light vessel through from Balboa or having another vessel at Colon ready to be loaded with the land bridged containers is not noted, but either way such represents a considerable addition to shipping time.

So, now that the Port of LA/LB is apparently "unclogged" (our "two Uncles") and Lazaro Cardenas (CPKC) never was, will there be a diversion back to these West Coast ports - and transcontinental rail transportation?

Mr. Cowford, this enquiring mind awaits your thoughts.
