Shippers across the southern United States have a new rail transportation shipping option via the Southeast Mexico Express (SMX), an east-west Class I corridor created by Canadian Pacific Kansas City and CSX.

Officially launched on Dec. 1, 2024, SMX is already providing automotive, intermodal and carload customers with faster transit times, greater capacity and environmentally sustainable rail solutions, CPKC and CSX officials said in a press release.

The service expands capacity while creating seamless, highly-reliable shipping options across three key markets: Mexico, Texas and the U.S. Southeast, they said. SMX collaboration between CPKC and CSX is addressing evolving customer demands.

"The Southeast Mexico Express has created new opportunities for our customers across all of our lines of business, including intermodal, carload and bulk, through a unique collaboration that is already proving itself in the market," said CPKC President and CEO Keith Creel. "With this corridor, we are leveraging the strengths of both CPKC and CSX, delivering faster transit times, greater efficiency and enhanced reliability."

Said CSX President and CEO Joe Hinrichs: "This new corridor highlights how we are taking concrete, measurable actions to expand our network, enhance service and unlock long-term growth for our customers."

Schneider National Inc., a multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistic services, has been providing the SMX service to its customers, Schneider officials said in the press release.
