>mfw Texas is getting the first high speed rail project in the country>construction contract already signed for $16 billion>100% private, not going for state or government gibs>land completely bought, just waiting on permits from the federal government trying to cuck it at every step>physical groundbreaking beginning this year, will be completed in 2023/24If anything, comparing Texas Central Railway to California's fully government-run high speed rail project that still doesn't own all the land along its proposed route and has been in construction hell for 2 decades shows that private infrastructure is the only way America can build high speed rail.
There's gonna be 3 stations - in Dallas, Houston, and a central one near College Station that's probably gonna allow a new line later into Austin and San Antonio. This is just the start, once this route proves its profitability (which it obviously will on one of the shittiest highway commutes in the country) you'll see private HSR zooming ahead leaving Commiefornia in the dust.
