Sounds great, I’m jealous. From what I understand, the privately funded project to build high-speed rail in Texas recently melted down and the prospects look increasingly pessimistic (despite some key court wins that would have let them exercise eminent domain.)

Texas ought to be another ideal physical environment for HSR, but Southwest killed a project in the ‘90s (back when the intra-Texas market was still their bread and butter) and none of the other projects have gotten sufficient traction since then.
