editor Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Popular Mechanics has an article about high-speed rail in America. One of the projects shown on the big interactive map is a high-speed link from Houston to New Orleans and a hub in New Orleans to the rest of the Gulf Coast. Has anyone heard of this before?http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology...548.html?page=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone heard of this before?http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology...548.html?page=2I have seen this plan before, I think from the FTA. It doesn't make a great deal of sense, though, in large part because the networks centered in Florida and north Texas don't connect to reasonably close parts of the network that runs up the Gulf Coast and Eastern seaboard.

RedScare Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 The map is a collection of projects and proposals. That is why it does not appear as a unified network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citykid09 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Agian, Houston is left with the minimum amount of rail that it could possably get. Texas overall is left hanging. Look at other major cities that are on par with Houston and tell me if Houstons High Speed Rail share is on par with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceo9903 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Let's get High Speed rail to IAH, Hobby, and Galveston before we start talking about rail to N.O. I would love to see the Texas Triangle develop a rail service. Oh, and if that plan were to go through as is, Houston would get f$@*ed as it does with everything else on a national level.
