Michael Lindenberger of the Dallas Morning News shared this link with us to a blog posting he wrote on the DMN’s Transportation Blog, and we thought we’d share it with you. It’s about Texas being late to the party with our high-speed rail project and missing out on the current federal push for HSR funds. Here’s an excerpt:

As we have reported here often, the federal government is about to dump a lot of money on states to develop a handful of high-speed passenger rail corridors, and the good news for us is that Texas is home to two of the 11 routes highlighted for special focus.

The bad news? As I wrote in a short piece for the newspaper this morning, Texas is so poorly positioned to build its rail lines, it’s all but certain to be shut out of the big money.

Head on over to the DMN’s Transportation Blog and read up on Michael’s post and offer your comments, here and there.
