Feds outline preferred route for proposed Texas bullet train
After so many arguments about which Texans might be in the train’s path, we now know DC’s favored route
For
the first time, the federal government late Friday outlined a preferred route
for the proposed bullet train between Houston and Dallas and identified where
the stops for the train should be.
Much
of the route had previously been talked about but the Draft Environmental Impact Statement
makes clear the tracks would go through Navarro, Leon, Freestone, Limestone,
and Madison counties.
The
statement also pointed to potential passenger terminal sites in Dallas, Houston
and the only midway stop, in Grimes County, serving Bryan/College Station in
the Brazos Valley.
