en.Wedoany.com Reported - Several North American railroad companies have jointly launched a new service called "America's Harvest" to transport grain from the U.S. Midwest to south-central Mexico. The service aims to provide grain shippers with an end-to-end process from documentation and import/export compliance to final delivery, reducing the complexity and execution risks of entering or expanding into the Mexican market.
This service is jointly provided by Canadian National Railway (CN), the Huron & Eastern Railway (HESR) owned by Genesee & Wyoming Inc. (G&W), CG Railway LLC co-owned by G&W and Grupo Mexico Transportes, as well as Ferrocarril Mexicano S.A. de C.V. (Ferromex) and Ferrocarril del Sureste S.A. de C.V. (Ferrosur) under Grupo Mexico. The partners collectively support commercial negotiations and adapt to customers' trade needs.
The transport route starts from Kinde or Durand in Michigan, travels via HESR and CN to Mobile, Alabama, where CG Railway ferries the grain to Mexico. Subsequently, Ferromex or Ferrosur transports the grain to Mexico City or Coatzacoalcos in Veracruz.
From Michigan, "America's Harvest" offers a 15-day service to Coatzacoalcos; an 18-day service to Orizaba, Veracruz; a 20-day service to Puebla, Puebla; a 22-day service to Mexico City; a 26-day service to Celaya, Guanajuato; and a 27-day service to Guadalajara, Jalisco. The partners also provide single-window customer service, including a single rail waybill, end-to-end cargo tracking, import/export compliance support, and management of railcar return to origin. Due to customs pre-clearance, shippers can avoid congestion and achieve seamless cross-border operations.
Mark Nagy, Director of Sales and Marketing at HESR, stated that for HESR, the launch of "America's Harvest" highlights the short-line railroad's commitment to customer choice and growth beyond the domestic market. He noted that Mexico is an important and expanding destination for U.S. agricultural products, and this new partnership enables shippers to access these markets safely, efficiently, and economically. By integrating trusted partners across North America, HESR is helping ensure that products grown in Michigan can travel from origin to consumer markets far beyond U.S. borders.
