El Paso, Juarez Light Rail Line Approved
EL PASO, Texas -- In just a few years, a light rail line could transport thousands of people from Juarez to El Paso and back again.
On Tuesday, Juarez Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz and most of the Juarez city council accepted a resolution from the El Paso city council, saying the two cities will work together to create a commuter line between the sister cities.

EL PASO -- A light-rail commuter train that will take people from the southernmost neighborhoods of Juárez to the international bridges in Downtown could be in service as early as 2013, officials from there said Tuesday.
Getting that train to cross the border into El Paso, though, will require the help of elected officials here, Juárez Mayor José Reyes Ferriz said on Tuesday during an El Paso City Council meeting.
"This is a certainty. We are going forward with these plans," Reyes Ferriz said. "And we are working with the leadership on this side of the border to make sure that a border-crossing line becomes a reality."

Juárez mayor: Light rail can exist by 2013
The city councils of El Paso and Las Cruces earlier this year began a study into the possibility of extending the RailRunner line down to this region -- a venture that could cost El Paso at least $1 million per mile of track.
Reyes Ferriz said the light-rail line his city would build could serve as a connector to the RailRunner if it was expanded to Chihuahua, as local officials hope.

this project isn't at all likely to happen... ever. the federal process wouldn't even make possible a 2013 start date without an international border involved (even if it were just traditional commuter rail).
