Short Sea is the buzz word for coastwise barge movements which are cheaper than rail. Another project being studied by some South American and Central Americans is "The Pan American MAritime Highway? using roll on rolloff pax and cargo vessels which have their own financial models. Rail is only one of many modes to be taken advantage of - Brownsville is in a unique position in having so many possibilities. All we need now are some real entreprenaurs to take advantage of them. BND needs to locate a Dock closer to the Jettys to get containers of most kinds as it becomes increasingly more expensive to push a ship 2.5 hours inland and certainly if a passenger service is being considered because it will inconvenince the passenger for that 2.5 hours, while getting out the channel, from going to the bar for a relaxing libation. It was a primary reason I chose to locate my shipping company in Port Isabel.

Container business is limited to them, unless they decide to go with and empty depot or haz-mat concept. Some cities are giving tax incentives for green engineered companies. The truth is that they need to approach Union Pacific and find out what needs to be done to make the port viable. Can UP by out the BRG rail company? I am not sure, but I do know that opportunity after opportunity has passed. Kurgan Fred,
