Texas Bullet Train (wt)
When the Texas Bullet Train Project is completed, projected in 2023, it will be with significant national, as well as worldwide, fanfare marking the historic achievement of being the first high speed bullet train to operate in the US.
​The only market-led infrastructure project of its kind in the US, the Texas Bullet Train is being built without federal grants, meaning it will be a tax-payer not a tax-taker, paying taxes to all the local municipalities it touches.

In the film, “behind-the-scenes” stories unfold from several key perspectives – the extreme engineering involved in what will be the largest high speed train undertaking of like engineering projects in US history; the technology and engineering needed as the project is constructed and readied to receive the first passengers; competing arguments relative to local issues; what are the economic impacts on the state, and implications for other regions and the country; and the engineering needed to keep pace with transportation demands for the future.
