How Mexico will rival the Panama Canal

With a modern freight rail connection and improved port facilities, Mexico is attempting to rival the invaluable Panama Canal, and take its slice of the global shipping industry.

Crazy how so many places in the world right now are trying to build this rail to sea links. Makes you wonder why they used to dig a canal instead of using rail. Likely because the transition of containers tech today is much more capable and cheaper than back in the day.

Best of luck in this project. It will help Mexico with domestic freight and also on the world stage.🎉

Corruption will restrict progress on the project

But you have to offload the ship put it on the train and then reload another ship that takes a lot of time and you only have so much capacity with space in the port for the ships to dock where the cranes it's not going to rival anything unless they're going to dig a canal they will not rival anything that has a canal

Too many mountains to level. It will never happen. They picked where the canal is now for a very good reason.
