Proposed private high-speed rail line
Texas Central Railway
Texas Central or Texas Central Partners, LLC, is a private company that is proposing to build a high-speed rail line between Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston. It plans to use technology based on that used by the Central Japan Railway Company and trains based on the N700S Series Shinkansen. The proposed route would take 90 minutes. On April 11, 2024, the governments of the United States and Japan signaled support for the project after their leaders met in Washington. Amtrak briefly took over planning of the project with estimates that it would cost more than $30 billion and could start service in the early 2030s. However, following the withdrawal of a federal grant by the second Trump administration, Amtrak ended its involvement in the project in April 2025, returning the initiative to private control.
