Also part of Mexico’s multi-modal corridor strategy, in January the first international in-bond double stack
container test shipment between Kansas City Southern Railway and Kansas City Southern de Mexico was
reported. The container shipments from China were transported by rail from the Port of Lazaro Cardenas to
San Antonio Texas. The trip was two days faster than the best times through the Port of LA/Long Beach
(Source: Larry W. Grant, KCS News, January 20, 2006).
The time savings reported here puts the stamp of reality on these shipping proposals. The lower wages in Mexico and the use of Mexican truckers would probably blow the shipping cost right out of the water. I don.t think it is wise to call this part of a conspiracy theory.
