in Local, Travel 990

It’s official. Texas Central, the developer behind the Texas Bullet Train has forged an agreement with Fluor Enterprises, a construction company out of Irving, Texas. Together, with the expertise of The Lane Construction, they are hammering out the details of what will be the first ever high speed experience in the States. The Bullet train is a 240 mile line that will connect Houston to Dallas in 90 minutes — with a pit-stop in Brazos Valley.

First Class Experience

The Bullet Train will travel some 200 miles per hour and stopping mid way in Brazos Valley. Amenities such as Wi-Fi and wide comfortable 2 by 2 seating will be offered. Tickets will be competitively priced.

The project has created buzz worldwide and has drawn many the attention of top firms and investors but Aguilar, CEO of Texas Central, is interested in only partnering with firms with deep Texan roots. That being said, the Texas Bullet Train project is privately funded exclusively. No federal or state grants will be taken out for construction.

Made in Texas

Texas Central, Fluor and Lane are refining the plans and updating the project accordingly. With Lane’s 125 years of complex civil engineering experience specializing in highways, bridges, mass transit and energy projects – we can be sure The Texas Bullet will be a highly designed performance train.

What does this mean for Houston?

An even stronger economy. Not only will the project create 10,000 jobs each year the project is in development but once complete will bridge the gap between for commuters to and from metropolitan areas such as Dallas and Houston. Research shows that are nearly 50,000 professionals that travel back and forth to Houston and Dallas/Forth Worth more than once a week. The idea is to not only reduce carbon footprint but off-set some of the congestion on the roads and accommodate the hyper growth Houston is experiencing. The project is estimated to begin its first year of development in 2022.
