TEX Rail

The T is developing plans for a rail line in a Southwest-to-Northeast Rail Corridor - across Tarrant County.  The proposed commuter route follows existing rail lines from Sycamore School Road in southwest Fort Worth, through downtown Fort Worth, northeast to downtown Grapevine and then into the north entrance of Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. It has been planned for start up in 2016.

 Plans are underway for The T's, newly named "TEXRail" commuter rail corridor.
