National links: Plans for high-speed rail move forward in two southern states

By Jeff Wood (Contributor) September 25, 2020

North Carolina and Texas get the go ahead for high-speed rail plans: This week high-speed rail moved forward in North Carolina and Texas. The North Carolina Department of Transportation received a federal grant to purchase right of way for a passenger line that would run from Raleigh to Richmond, Virginia. At the same time, a planned passenger line between Houston and Dallas received important approvals from the Federal Railroad Administration to move forward.

This would link the Research Triangle to the Northeast Corridor via Richmond. As a Richmonder who loves to take the train, I heartily approve!
