Texas Central announced that Amtrak is now partnering on the Dallas to Houston project, and will "seek opportunities to advance planning and analysis work ... to further determine [the bullet train's] viability."
This type of public-private partnership to build out major transit infrastructure is unique - and some advocates say it's a good sign that the bullet train stands a fighting chance of being built.
Even if Texas Central and Amtrak do win federal funds, though, experts caution that some of the challenges for the project may include legal battles and acquiring necessary land.
