Texans who look forward to the day when they can take a bullet train from Dallas to Houston — a roughly 240-mile trip in about 90 minutes — will now have the added bonus of connecting to more traditional (and slower) Amtrak service.
The company working to build the high-speed rail line, Texas Central, recently announced that an agreement had been reached with Amtrak — the nation’s only coast-to-coast passenger rail network — to share services. Such services could include a shared reservation system, through-ticketing and marketing efforts.
