High Speed Rail

The constant traffic jams on I-35 create problems that hold back Texas, Texas lawmakers were told on Monday. And the solution could be high-speed rail between San Antonio and Dallas.

Advocates in Texas say there's some movement on legislation to improve rail projects in the state.

A yearslong effort to bring high-speed rail to Texas has recently shown signs of life, but state lawmakers have consistently put up roadblocks to keep it from happening.

Democratic State Rep. John Bucy pre-filed two bills in the Texas Legislature that would kick-start a high speed rail line along the I-35 corridor and direct funding to bullet train projects. Bucy said there are no specific plans drawn out for the bullet train to San Antonio. Right now, it’s just a vision.

The 240-mile route would take under 90 minutes and travel at a top speed of 204 MPH, according to Amtrak.
