Texas has been trying to build a high-speed rail line between Dallas and Houston for more than 15 years and it still doesn’t exist.

In this episode of Cities in Motion, we look at what happened to the Texas Bullet Train: why it was proposed, who supported it, who fought it, and what ultimately stalled it. We’ll explore how land rights, politics, funding, and local opposition collided with the idea of building fast, modern rail in a car-first state and what this story says about how Texas builds big infrastructure.
