Two key rail crossings between Texas and Mexico reopened Friday after a five-day closure. U.S. Customs and Border Protection closed the rail bridges at Eagle Pass and El Paso, Texas in response to the influx of undocumented migrants. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway were impacted by the closure and thousands of rail cars were stranded in Mexico. President Joe Biden and his Mexican counterpart, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador spoke by phone Thursday. Rail cars filled with grain and other commodities started to roll across the Eagle Pass and El Paso bridges Friday afternoon.
