<p>The reference to the fact that Nashville is the only metropolitan area in the U.S. that does not have an Amtrak presence is difficult to understand. I don't get the point. </p><p>Amtrak shares Dallas Union Station facilities with The Trinity Railway Express (TRE) and Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART). It shares station facilities with the TRE, "T", and Greyhound in Fort Worth. </p><p>One or two Heartland Flyer passengers a day might connect with the TRE to get to Dallas, primarily because the Amtrak connection is unreliable. Otherwise, Amtrak is not a serious player in Fort Worth or Dallas.</p><p>Austin's commuter rail system from Leander to downtown Austin will begin late this year. Its downtown termination point won't even be close to the Amtrak station. </p><p>Amtrak played no role whatsoever in the development of the TRE or Austin's commuter rail system. </p><p> </p>
