23. Joint Safety Actions
Current situation
 For many years, the development of new rail infrastructure on the border
between Mexico and the United States was stagnant.
 As a result of a strong Mexican federal investment and interest synergy with the
United States, the Matamoros-Brownsville Bypass and Railway Bridge, was built
and will soon be in operation.
 Currently import - export railway activities develop normally at border crossings
in Tijuana-San Ysidro (Admicarga) Calexico-Mexicali, Nogales, Nogales, Ciudad
Juarez-El Paso, Piedras Negras-Eagle Pass (Ferromex) Nuevo Laredo -Laredo and
Matamoros-Brownsville (KCSM).
Joint action proposal
 To integrate a working group capable of exploring the possibility of resuming
joint inspection activities at the border, with staff from Mexico-SCT, USA-FRA
and the railway companies, giving priority to a review program for units
transporting dangerous materials and waste, in order to increase safety in this
type of traffic.
