Dallas-Fort Worth is closer to getting high-speed rail right

Private company Texas Central Partners plans to run a high-speed train to Houston from a planned downtown Dallas station along this rail corridor. The state is exploring plans for a Dallas-Fort Worth train that runs faster than the existing TRE commuter line. Officials hope the two new train projects would connect together.

A North Central Texas Council of Governments spokesperson wouldn’t confirm any details surrounding the plan when we reached out Wednesday.. It appears that the new plan wouldn’t change the location of the proposed rail station in the Cedars neighborhood south of downtown, so that may be doable.
