The venture would put a second Amtrak-backed high-speed line between Dallas and Houston.

      It says it will bring the trains, not that they’ll actually go to 200 mph

        Of course; we don’t doubt the promise. What I doubt is that the US has enough electrified track in good condition for the trains to hit 320 km/h.

          I’m more doubtful that the Texas power grid can support these trains.

    If it actually happens, they will incessantly bitch about the project at every stage, I’m certain of that.

      Ted Cruz is going to do everything in his power to block this while telling his constituents how amazing it’s going to be.

        Are you kidding? They’ll be listening to podcasts and talk shows about how terrible it would be and what a waste of money while sitting in traffic on I35. Then they’ll demand more lanes be added.
