New Toyota Car Plant in Guanajuato, Mexico online in 2019.

So initially 200,000 Carolla's a year will be the production rate in 2019 (replacing a plant in Canada), since the plant is near a major rail junction in Mexico (San Luis Potsi), anyones guess where some of those cars will cross the border into the United States, my guess is most will come through Texas but I am curious if it will be KCS or UP that gets the haulage contract for them through Texas.    Mexico is also a big market for tiny Nissans and Toyotas though and it might be all the output is consummed by Mexico and points South.
