Union Pacific Halts Cargo Transit at Eagle Pass, Texas

Freight railroad operator Union Pacific said it was halting
cargo transit at Eagle Pass, after the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection Agency closed train traffic there Wednesday due to the
migrant situation.
The bridge is one of several key rail links between the U.S. and
Mexico, used by both Union Pacific and rival BNSF. Trains transport
billions of dollars worth of automobiles and automobile parts,
apparel, beverages, fuel and grain through the Eagle Pass bridge
every year.
Union Pacific said its other border gateways, including its
terminal at Laredo, Texas, continue normal operations but cannot
handle the extra traffic.
