Permit Embargo Affecting Ferromex Interchanges Cancelled

BNSF has cancelled the permit embargo regarding southbound traffic destined for interchange with Ferromex (FXE) at our Eagle Pass and El Paso, TX gateways. The cancellation was effective at 11:00 a.m. Central Time today.

The embargo (BNSF002322) was issued in May due to congestion associated with an FXE system migration issue. Railcars that were holding as a result of the embargo will be released for movement. Northbound shipments interchanging with BNSF at these gateways remain unaffected.
