The proposed electric railway line could travel 240 miles in under 90 minutes for over 6 million passengers per year.

Texas could get a 205-mph bullet train zipping between Houston and Dallas::The proposed electric railway line could travel 240 miles in under 90 minutes for over 6 million passengers per year.

I live in Texas and this is unlikely to happen. It was more likely to happen a few years back. I doubt they will build a eletric train between two liberal cities. The only thing that would make it less likely is if you said it was a gay eletric train. Even if they did, Texas cities are sprawled out and require a car. It would only work if you could load your car on the train. It would be useful for students going back and forth to their universities. However, university students are almost as despised as poor people or minorities to most of the voters in Texas.

What if they promised to put guns on the front of the train? Would that help?

I love the way you think.

Put gunner’s nests on the train, B-52 style.

Advertise the shit out of that job.

We’ll have republicans building trains between neighborhoods by the end of the year.
