JR Central is partnering with the people that want to build a bullet train from Dallas to Houston. We'll see if it ever happens. I'm hoping so!

Isn’t that this one that temporarily died due to Texas legal stuff until 1 month ago when Amtrak helped save it? Yeah I hope it succeeds but there’s a lot of influential Texans who want it to fail or kill it.

That seems like such a great route. I’m not as familiar with the area but I’m presuming the land acquisition part won’t be too bad?
