The only way to get more rail is for the Lege to change the state constitution to allow TxDot to use highway dollars. If they would only do that I’d be ecstatic. I’d love to be able to take a high speed train to San Antonio and back, for a Spurs game. The twice a year that I see them here is great, but I’d love more!
This is a really good analysis. The route to better transpiration in Texas is steel wheel on steel rail. It is more fuel efficient, land efficient, has less noise and air pollution and far more comfortable.

The politics are for sure the hard part here!
They are. But we need to try!

Thank you, Jeffrey! I love that steel-on-steel formulation. Here's hoping that more Texans get on board!
