You must have read the information the Texas Department of Transportation has on its Trans Texas Corridors web site. <br /> <br />http://www.dot.state.tx.us/ttc/ttc_home.htm <br /> <br />To sum it all up, Texas is expecting to double its population in 30 years or so, and the current rail infrastructure won't handle twice the traffic. After the Southern Pacific merged with Union Pacific, most Texans think the railroads have already reached capacity. Therefore the state is interested in building double tracks for freight, commuter, and high speed trains along the same corridors allowing any railroad to use them for a fee (toll).
