TEXRail: Connecting Dallas-Fort Worth Airport to Fort Worth, Texas (and AMTRAK in Texas)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- TEXRail is a 27-mile (43 km) commuter rail line in Tarrant County, Texas, United States that provides service between downtown Fort Worth and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport via Grapevine and other Tarrant County communities. It is operated by Trinity Metro (formerly Fort Worth Transportation Authority) and started service on January 10, 2019, with a preview service having occurred on December 31, 2018.
The new line is worth $1 billion. This segment of the Cotton Belt Rail Line is operated independent of the other segments, as it was built by Trinity Metro, instead of DART, who will be building the Silver Line to the east.
Officials with Trinity Metro are hoping the new rail line will entice non-member cities along the line to join the transit agency in its quest to become a regional transit entity. Cities along the route include Colleyville, Haltom City and North Richland Hills. The route also goes through small parts of Hurst and Southlake. Unlike Grapevine, those cities do not have room under the state-mandated 8.25% sales tax cap for the 1⁄2¢ needed to join. Trinity Metro will not build a station along the line in those cities unless they become a member city first. ~Wikipedia

We have these trains also in holland electric with a pantograff and a dieselmotor together in one train
Stadler FLIRT same as in the UK (Greater Anglia) with the same 25K AC pantograph and central diesel powerplant.
Nice video!! The Dallas/Ft Worth area needs a regional system. Expansion is the best way to move forward. Thanks Tim for presenting this video.😀😀💚💚
Those are honestly really nice trains and surprised to see them in Texas
Why are you suprised to see them in Texas?
@@TheAnomics1 I’ve been to Texas quite a bit and seeing a big shiny nice train like this isn’t what I expected from Texas transit systems.
@@godowrk3360 Stadler trains like the ones on TEXRail are actually becoming quite popular in Texas. The transit agencies in Austin and Denton both run Stadler GTWs, which are the shorter variants of the TEXRail trains, and TEXRail and the future Cotton Belt Line will both run Stadler FLIRTs. That’s quite a lot of European trains for a very ‘American’ state like Texas, but Stadler is equivalent to the Mercedes of train manufacturers - their trains are fantastic in every way.
@@godowrk3360 interesting. What were you expecting? (Genuine question)
@@TheAnomics1 Outdated trains on lines that were shoehorned into existing infrastructure
Nice train video my good friend
Hi guy. Comfortable Rail Feeling - Great Video!
Greetings from Finland to Helsinki 🇫🇮
Super video 👍👍👍
Under USDoT regulations is this classified as Light Rail or Heavy Rail?
Units are quiet and the bell and light system not as intrusive as on other networks in North America. I assume they are Diesel Electric to justify the quieter engine.
These are indeed diesel-electric, the high pitch sound you hear coming from the front and rear are the electric motors. The reason you hear them during deceleration is regenerative braking (storing energy for later acceleration).
Nicely filmed.
Thats cool, but don't you think the technology is similar to that of the diesel interurban shown months ago?

Why does the US always spend so much on systems that barely get used?
Because future use potential.
Also we’re too stubborn to try new things
If you build it they will come. NYC developed fully when subway built and expanded
Not electric 🤔
Sometimes they can't electrify suburban rail lines because it "interferes" with freight services. I'm unsure if any freight trains use this line though. It's also much cheaper to not use fully electric trains, especially on lines that don't have high frequency.
