For ten years, the company wanting to build a high speed passenger train between Houston and Dallas promoted not using public money. Now, Texas Central is working with Amtrak.
A news release from Amtrak says they and Texas Central have applied for at least two federal grants to further study and design what Amtrak describes as a potential Dallas to Houston segment. Amtrak says their relationship with Texas Central goes back to 2016 with agreements for support services including Texas Central using Amtrak’s reservation system. Amtrak’s news release states the partnership has the support of the mayors of Dallas and Houston. This is one of four Amtrak projects to extend service in Texas.
