Current Railroad Crossings The current railroad crossings to and from the U.S.A. and Mexico are controlled by our Border Patrol, and should not be a problem for the BorderTransportationSystem that will be passing over the existing tracks. "There are nine rail crossings between the United States and Mexico, according to US Customs and Border Protection.  All the locations are equipped with X-ray systems that can scan arriving rail traffic. There are also Border Patrol agents and sniffer dogs for onsite inspections, it said.  Mexico is the third-largest bilateral goods trading partner of the United States and the United States’ second-largest goods export market in 2013, according to the Office of the US Trade Representative.   US-Mexico trade increased to $592bn in 2014 with nearly $1.5bn of goods crossing between the two countries each day, the Commerce Department said."  Ref: theguardian.com By raising the BorderTransportationSystem above the existing tracks and roads, the crossings will be dependent on the existing Border Crossings, but additionally sensors and and monitoring should be considered. Proposed Mag Lev from Mexico to Texas Proposed is to be able to connect the existing rail systems to the new BorderTransportationSystem, but there can be a problem with the track spacing and type.  The Mexican / U.S.A. governments are planning a MagLev passenger train from Mexico into Texas, and this would be a connection that can be designed into the systems, before the actual approval and construction is started.  Existing freight lines are a different story and will have to be considered.  MagLev and Ladder track are not compatible, and there would need to be a method of moving freight from one system to the other.
