Oklahoma-Rio Grande
Posted by HarveyK400 on Thursday, October 28, 2010 1:59 PM

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announces a $5.6 million grant to plan a passenger rail line from Oklahoma City to the Rio Grande (American Statesman).

With past discussion focused on the Texas Triangle, I was happy to see a link acknowledging corridor passenger traffic potential south of San Antonio to Corpus Christi and Harlingen-McAllen.  As I suspected, Laredo appears to be a much smaller market. 

Curiously, Houston was not included in the scope of study.
