Orient railroad project gains momentum amid optimism
The Orient railway that links Kansas City with Mexico's west coast is seen as soon to begin active construction.

Executives note four major linking gaps from Kansas City to the Pacific, detailing progress from Wichita to Alpine and connections through Chihuahua, El Fuerte, Topolobampo, and Del Rio, with expectations of strong U.S. investment and Mexican development under President Obregon.
