This is not looking too good. I am not sure what, if ever anything, might develop from this. If commuter rail never operates in this corridor, is it ripe for an Amtrak type corridor like the Pacific Surfliners or Capitol Corridor? 30 trains per day is more than any other corridor, save for the Northeast Corridor.
CAMPO board votes to remove Lone Star Rail project
The future of the $2 billion Lone Star Rail Project was determined by a unanimous vote on Monday. In the 18-0 vote, the Capital Area Metro Planning Organization (CAMPO) voted to remove the proposed rail line from its 2040 plan.
Note that even with the published time line, initial revenue service would not have begun until 2022, with full service two years later in 2024.
