Migrants Choke Off Mexico's Freight Service

Unexpected second order consequences are a bitch.

[Epoch Times] Mexican railroad operator Ferromex has suspended some service in the northern part of the country following the "regrettable" injuries and deaths of about a half-dozen illegal immigrants who tried to hop aboard its freight cars.
Ferromex halted 60 trains on northern routes that have the capacity to carry enough cargo to fill 1,800 tractor-trailers, the company said in a Sept. 19 statement.

The company, owned by Grupo México, stated that the number of illegal immigrants occupying its trains and rail yards had increased significantly in recent days, totaling more than 4,000 across several cities.

"Due to this, Ferromex will temporarily suspend its operations on the affected routes to protect the physical integrity of the migrants and will be monitoring whatever measures authorities implement," it stated.

Ferromex is Mexico’s largest concessionary rail operator, and the halt in services could be "very important," according to Ana Bertha Gutiérrez, international trade coordinator for the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness.

Ms. Gutiérrez stressed that the industrial states such as Nuevo León, Baja California, and Chihuahua could be particularly hard hit, given their involvement in the U.S. market.
