The only Amtrak line that travels along the I-35 corridor, the Texas Eagle, only runs four times a week.
San Antonio residents finally may get new rail service connecting them to Dallas, Houston and Austin, according to a Texas Department of Transportation filing. to the Federal Railroad Administration , TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams requested federal funding for the expansion of several railroad corridors, including"new and enhanced, conventional intercity options" along traffic-clogged Interstate 35, which runs north-south through the state.
The proposed projects outlined in the letter include an increase in service on Amtrak's Texas Eagle line connecting San Antonio and Dallas and additional hauls on the Sunset Limited between the Alamo City and Houston. Currently, the Texas Eagle only runs four days a week, while the Sunset Limited operates on a tri-weekly basis, according to the rail operator's website.
The proposal also includes expanding the Texas Eagle Line south, connecting San Antonio with the Rio Grande Valley and adding a new station on the Sunset Limited Line in Flatonia — located between San Antonio and Houston — to expand rural service.
