Now they won’t have to pay the outrageous union worker wages in California to unload.

byzantine Mexican legal system

I resent that. (It's not like the Mexicans use the novellas of Justinian as the basis for their legal system.)

Haverty has gotten smarter about doing business in Mexico

And then they go on to detail how he has acculturated himself to the ways of Mexican corruption.

Mr. Haverty may have to leave town soon. Or talk to some of those Lockheed guys about the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Haverty's Mexico bet has made what was once a second-tier railway a valuable acquisition morsel for Burlington Northern and Union Pacific

They may have to stand in line behind Norfolk Southern, which has a number of ties to KCS. There would also be fewer antitrust concerns.

So what happens when it’s all built and the myriad Chi-Coms’ problems — not the least of which is the restless stirrings of the Party’s Maoists (Marxists) — cause it all to come tumbling down, either by revolution or by Maoists taking the Party back from the corrupt Dengists then seizing all useful idiots’ property and pulling that Bamboo Curtain shut?
Can’t happen?

**The Mexican government still owns the land under KCS’ rails south of the border and can revoke its concession at any time.**

Should call it the San Sebastian Line.

So basically, it’s a rail line to ship Chinese junk from Mexico to the north?

news travels fast.

the u.s. congress approved this in the 1990’s.

it’s been discussed on this forum since at least 2003,

if not longer.

Can someone explain what the citizens of the USA get out of this super-corridor? It seems that only Mexico, China, and India make money, and any other Foreign entity that will be colleting tolls. But what about the people of the USA and Canada? What are we going to produce that will be shipped out to China and Mexico? What will stop these foreign governments from controlling the USA? IF we do not act the way they want, will they stop all shipments of products? Why do we need this volume, unless they expect to move most of India and China here also? This sound more like away to take over the USA, and to move foreign made items along with foreign workers into the USA at a fantastic rate.
Why does the USA need this ONE-Way volume of items following into it? What will stop an increase in immigration along with this highway? Why does the USA need it? And how come NAFTA includes China, India, Spain, and the other foreign countries moving in?
