The high-speed rail project from Dallas to Fort Worth will be about 32 miles long and will include at least one station between the two metropolitan areas.
Exactly what route the bullet train will take, where the stations will be located and what impacts it will have on the area have yet to be determined.
The public can get a better look at the project at three public meetings set for next week in North Texas.
The meetings will be hosted by the Texas Department of Transportation and the Federal Railroad Administration.
That project, called the DFW Core Express Service, is a local initiative that would likely connect to the Texas Central Railway bullet train from Dallas to Houston. Texas Central Railway is a private company that paid for the federal environmental study that's currently underway.
The project could be operating by 2021.
The goal is to combine the systems so that riders can take one train and one seat from Houston all the way to the end in Fort Worth. Long-term there could be a high-speed rail system in Texas that connects Austin and San Antonio, too, transportation leaders have said.
A separate environmental study is being done for the DFW Core project and the three public comment meetings are part of that study.
The Dallas Area Rapid Transit is already preparing for hundreds or maybe even thousands of travelers per day crowding into downtown Dallas from the bullet trains.
