Ensuring our lines are maintained and operating at their optimal performance, Maintenance of Way work is critical to achieving this. However, we also recognize that this can cause an inconvenience for our customers.
To help you plan, here are the details of the Maintenance of Way being performed by Kansas City Southern de Mexico for the month of October:
Beginning on October 1st and lasting until approximately October 20th, there will be a series of maintenance of way efforts on several of our lines with little to no impact expected to traffic:
A *= Lines BD-B-NB—BJ between Buchanan López - Escobedo - Qro.
B* = Between Queretaro - Huehuetoca (Juarez/Morelos)
C* = Line F between Lobos – Matamoros
D* = Line V between Los Reyes - Perote - Santa Fe Wood and Rail in Veracruz
Also beginning on October 1st , with a planned duration of 3 weeks, is the track noted below which may result in some potential delays for intermodal shipments originating in Lazaro Cardenas:
E* = Caltzontzin N Line between Acambaro – Alvarez
Lastly, starting October 7th continuing through October 14th, maintenance of way will be done on the Saltillo B and BF lines. The work will be done between Leal and Ramos Arizpe (through Rinconada). (See “F” and “G” on the attached map via the HTML version). There are minimal delays expected with this MOW project.
Our goal is to always minimize disruption for our customers and we will continue to work toward this.
