Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) of Mexico announced that refrigerated service will reach its terminal in Toluca by 2026, once the necessary facilities are in place.
“The idea is to expand to Toluca, which will be next year. We’ve partnered with Americold , we’ve already inaugurated the plant in Kansas City, and we’ve laid the cornerstone at the Port of Saint John. The third will be in Mexico, in the southern part of the country,” explained Oscar Del Cueto, president of CPKC Mexico.
He mentioned that the service currently only reaches Monterrey and San Luis Potosí , and will arrive at its facilities in the State of Mexico in the middle of next year.
He also announced that they hope to add new products to this service, such as avocados , which they have already tested, as well as potatoes produced in the country and exported to a U.S. company.
In an interview with the media, within the framework of the XXII ExpoRail , organized by the Mexican Association of Railways (AMF) , he recalled that they have already transported lettuce, berries, potatoes, animal protein and cookies.
Regarding the year-end, Del Cueto explained that positive numbers were recorded during the first half of the year , while declines were recorded in the third quarter in sectors such as steel and aluminum. However, he forecast a positive close to 2025, due to growth in grains, plastics, and white goods .
Meanwhile, as part of the 2025 investment plan, which totaled 2.738 billion pesos (mdp), various projects have been completed, such as the Celaya bypass, the third operational highway in San Luis Potosí, while the Salinas Victoria yard was completed, among others.
