The United States and Mexico have opened their first new rail link between the two countries in more than a century, in the Texas border city of Brownsville.
The West Rail Bypass International Bridge connects Brownsville with Matamoros, its neighboring city across the border, and carries freight worth nearly $600 billion a year in bilateral trade between the two countries.
US-Mexico trade increased to $592 billion in 2014 with nearly $1.5 billion of goods crossing between the two countries each day.
