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.
