Thanks - we better hope some other states hook up to this, or it will be an even bigger White Elephant than I imagined.
You can find info on the Ports to Plains Corridor which officialy runs from Denver to Laredo with a spur into Raton. There is a semi-official extension of this that follows US 287 to the Canadian border and some call this the "meat and wheat" corridor.
Consider that anything moving between the western plains of the US/Canada, the Rocky Mountain region, the Pacific NW and The Tex-Mex border, the Port of New Orleans, the soon to be expanded port in Baytown or the proposed deepwater port in Brownsville goes thru Texas.
