Ya, I would really love to see something that works in Texas because of just what you mentioned mhays, being able to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Over the holidays I thought it would be very cool to take the train from Austin to my sisters in Dallas and then to my other sisters in Houston. When I went online and looked into it, the full day required for each trip just makes it impossible.

Afiggott, you are spot on about how useful that line from SA > Austin > Waco > Dallas would be. Problem is Houston always gets left out as it is off on its own in the east. heh. Dallas and Houston need to be connected some way as those are two huge towns. That you have to go from Dallas way to the SW to SA, and then back up and east to Houston seems silly. Would be nice if our cities were all in a nice little line like in Cali or the NE, but that just is not the case and probably why there is no real passenger rail here.
