Jacksonville, FL-based CSXT said the program enables shippers to obtain an array of coordinated services between the U.S. and Mexico. Access Mexico will offer cross-border service, guides on how to conduct cross-border business and warehouse and transload options, CSXT said.

The program will initially apply only to shipments of sheet steel and coils, but CSXT plans to add more commodities next year.
