Please shut the fuck up, this is one of the most important projects in the nation and here’s a fun fact not every project has to personally benefit you ya neoliberal fuck. The Government can invest in multiple things and some of them will not benefit you specifically
A few days ago I undersold the Texas Central Amtrak Collaboration. This has basically saved the Texas Project from collapse and has the potential to radically reshape both Trxas and the Amtrak system. It is the first time Amtrak has Collaborated with a private company jointly to run a line instead of the state, and it will be the first fully high-speed rail project in the history of Amtrak.
This has also angered the Nimbys who killed the project previously because it apparently is a federal bail out that was planned from the start, which both A) makes no sense, and B) is how Amtrak operates, Amtrak has at multiple points taken over the running of failed private trains like the auto train in the 80s and literally all of passenger rail in the 70s.

At least we're still the biggest state...
Because they have big cities and that train would be a good part of our system
Here are the 6 corridors I think should be done as high-speed rail first, funnily enough 1 is already partially HSR, 1 is under construction, 2 are in planning, and 1 has been suggested in part.
ALTA Texas judge is calling on the Amtrak Texas Central project to include Austin. On a Dallas-Houston Line.
Here is what he is proposing they do
Not at all, it’s actually a good idea, I just think we should focus on the initial route before adding onto it

I have news about Texas, The Auto Train, and CTrail
First up, Amtrak has begun a partnership with Texas Central to further explore the Dallas Houston line, (and save that failed project from collapse)
