Waco isn’t exactly on the way between Dallas and Houston. It’s not going to Waco.

And it will be a ridiculous boondoggle that will be bailed out with tax dollars. The upfront cost will never be recouped.

I stand corrected. The map shows a "Brazos Valley Station". So, College Station?

I don’t have it in front of me but it’s basically a stop in BFE. Not in College Station but a short drive.

If it was close in price I'd take the train every time. Not crowded. Not smashed in between POS in middle seat. No TSA.!! Can get up and move around. Even if it was a little slower.
