After months of ups and downs and negotiations, the merger between Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern – a transaction of 31,000 million dollars – is a reality. It will be a before and after for the rail sector in the North American region.

With this, ports on both ends of Canada, such as Vancouver and Saint John, will connect with the American Midwest region, which, in turn, will lead to other stops in South Texas and New Orleans, and will feed the Laredo border crossings. and Brownsville to Mexico, a key component of the merger.

"We have participated in the growth of trade between the two countries, and our cross-border business has been the flagship of our portfolio for several years."
