<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>[quote user="Sam1"]DFW and Houston have the largest combined metro populations (educated guess) of any two end points in Texas, but the density along the I-35 corridor is much greater than the density along the I-45 corridor. Although the folks in Corsicana, Fairfield, and Buffalo, amongst others, may not like to hear me say it, the I-45 corridor between Dallas and Houston is populated lightly. [/quote]</p> <p>I see. What about Houston to Austin and/or San Antonio? [/quote]</p> <p>Houston to San Antonio is even less populated than Houston to Dallas. The Sunset Limited runs non-stop from the Alamo City to Houston. Houston to Austin is not much better. There are a few small towns between Austin and Houston. Brenham is the largest with just over 16,000. It is not a viable market for passenger rail.</p> <p>Brenham is the home of Blue Bell ice cream. If you are ever in the area, a tour of the ice cream plan is worth while. Even better is the free helping of Blue Bell ice cream. Many Texans will walk half way across the state for a dish or cone of Blue Bell.</p>
