TEXAS — Since 2009, Texas Central has been looking to partner with Amtrak to create a high-speed rail that would bring a new form of transportation to Texas.
Amtrak says it's exploring these exciting opportunities with Texas Central — ones that would get passengers from Dallas to Houston, which is a 240-mile route, in just 90 minutes at over 200 miles per hour.
Plans for Texas Central have been derailed in recent years, especially after push-back from small town families suing to stop the land grab.
However, the Texas Supreme Court ruled last year that the company is allowed to use eminent domain.
