| RoadRailer
Services
In June 2000, we introduced "RoadRailer" technology
to Mexico. RoadRailers, which are operated by Triple Crown in
the United States, are semi-trailers equipped with both tires
for highway use and bogies with rail wheels for running directly
on rail tracks. The introduction of this equipment will enhance
our existing land and rail transport operations primarily by
facilitating interchanges with U.S. railways.
This
new service is designed to complement our trucking and rail
transport operations to further streamline the movement of
products to and from Mexico particularly along the NAFTA corridor.
We currently own 200 RoadRailers and have ordered 200 additional
units which we expect to receive and begin operating during
the third quarter of 2002.
