ABOUT US
Baja California Railroad (BJRR) manages the operation of the Tijuana-Tecate short line, working in collaboration with ADMICARGA, a decentralized entity of the Government of the State of Baja California, which since 1999 has the concession of the short line by the Federal Government.
We have direct connection to the northwest on the San Ysidro CA, port of entry to the United States through the San Diego Imperial Valley (SDIY), conecting with BNSF Railway in downtown San Diego, a Class 1 railroad.
To the northeast BJRR will connect with Union Pacific (UP) thorough the “Desert Line”, achieving a complete connectivity for our binational region, allowing us us to operate almost 5,000 railcars per year, increasing every year.
