Awesome that America finally sees the light and picks cheaper, lighter, and faster trains for their networks. Using these trains will dramatically reduce costs as current passenger trains are big, heavy, and not fast. These trains easily reach 100mph (160 km/h) right out of the factory and are much more set for passenger transportation. I'm gonna follow this with much interest. :D

@@Neuzahnstein The FRA would not allow European Spec equipment to operate in mixed traffic with US style freight trains. The FRA had different requirements for safety, which led to passenger rail equipment having to be heavily modified or be an American design from the ground up. That is why the Acela weighs much more than the equivalent European high-speed rail train set. The FRA is now excepting the European standards.

When we rented a car for vacation, we took the TexRail to DFW to pick up the car. After vacation we returned the car to the airport and used TexRail to get home. It was a 21 minute ride in quiet,clean comfort. This is a welcome addition to the area. I already see many pilots and flight attendents using the line to commute to and from the airport.

Awesome trainspotting action! It's so nice to see this modern DMU in the green Texan nature. Stadler Rail is one of the key players in Europe and they do specialize in manufacturing all sorts of good trains, ranging from our very own GTW 2/6 operating in Greece since 2003 to the first low floor high speed trains, the ''Giruno'' EC 250 trains.

Thank you! I agree, it's very nice seeing DMU's in Texas. Unlike most others around here I'm a big fan of Stadler and their trains. They all ride very smooth and are very quiet.

I don't even live in DFW, but I'm excited about this train service. I can imagine the tears of relief for the people who spend hours in traffic to and from work. I hope it is as successful as predicted, and eventually expanded to connect all major Texas cities. Investments like this are great for the state. I hope there is plenty of parking space at the stations for commuters. I know some cities and homeowners aren't happy about it, but in the long-term, I think it will be good for property values. I guess time will tell. This might sound crazy, but I plan to drive up there just to spend a whole day riding the train. Wonder if I'm alone in that desire?

This won't take anything away from the GVRR, they are a vintage railroad meant for day leisure. The TRE runs south of DFW, TEXRail will run north out of Fort Worth coming back around from north of DFW. Two rather distant lines. If anything this will be an excellent complementing service to the TRE.

Unfortunately public transit isn’t a large priority here so when projects do get through it’s the cheapest option to construct which isn’t electric trains. Though they are cheaper in the long run, it’s the initial costs that matter most it seems.

@MarioStahl1983 4 года назад
@@TexasTrainProductions I know. It's so sad. One of the technologically most advanced nations in the world isn't able to build adequate modern infrastructure. The last time I spent a few months in America many railways and train stations looked like places in Romania or the third world. TexRail at least uses some solid Stadler trains. Diesel or not, the quality of these swiss made trains is superb. They are used on some InterCity connections here in Germany as well. - The electric version, of course.
