IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE?
I sent an e-mail to these guys about maybe 6 months ago inquiring if they would be interested in transporting goods from the proposed new Super Shipping Port in Mexico to the various U.S. markets.
Just for giggles, not that anybody gives a rat's okole'
here's the e-mail
"As I am sure you already are aware there is an area a few hundred miles south of the US border at Punta Colonet, Mexico planning on the installation of a shipping port to help relieve the congestion of our US Pacific and Atlantic ports.
The logistics problem of moving the goods fom Mexico to the US seems a perfect introduction for Magplane to integrate your system into the US market.
"A Los Angeles firm, fronting for Chinese and Korean concerns, is lobbying the Mexican government to be granted permission to build a multi billion dollar port in the agricultural area of Punta Colonet, 150 miles south of Tijuana.
The port project would be one of the largest Mexican public works projects ever, according to the LA Times. Roads, rail lines, port facilities and even a small city will have to be constructed to accommodate the project. The consortium believes it is necessary to accommodate the growing demand for Asian goods; imports from China grew at the astounding rate of 15% last year.
Union Pacific executives say they're eager to build a rail line to carry containers of Asian goods into the U.S. heartland from a planned mega seaport at Baja California's Punta Colonet.
But they won't reveal details of their plans until Mexico begins the competitive bidding process to develop the project.
Because the Mexican government plans to offer the rail project through an auction, the process of building the 200-mile-plus rail line differs from other developments undertaken by North America's largest railroad, UP executives told The San Diego Union-Tribune in an interview yesterday.
“We're waiting for the bid rules to see what the formal parameters are for the project,” said Christopher D. Peterson, a Union Pacific government affairs and corporate relations director.
Although Mexican officials have not indicated when they'll move forward with the auction, Union Pacific is laying the groundwork for what it hopes will be the winning bid. The auction is expected to attract several bidders."
So I guess my question to you is pretty simple. Do you have the resources and desire to enter into the bidding of this venture to move the goods the 200 miles + - from Mexico to the US using your magnetic levitation propulsion system should the Port actually open bidding?
Are you aware of this project?
Are you in contact with the necessary parties?
Is there possibly a PR to be issued in the near future to tell us where you stand one way or the other on this project and why?
etc.
They did get back to me.
They said they were not interested in getting into a bidding situation at this time...
