TRE

This commuter rail line started out very slow when it opened in 1996. It just connected Irving with Dallas. In September 2000 the line was extended to Richland Hills with a stop near the large Dallas Fort Worth Airport. In 2002 the line was extended again to its new terminal in downtown Fort Worth. The line uses RDC's as well as the new standard commuter rail coaches modeled after the Toronto GO cars.

A better look at the locomotive hauling the bi-level cars. There is a cab control car at the other end so the train does not need to be turned around. (10/00)	Train at Centreport Station. Here D/FW airport is a short shuttle bus ride away. (10/00)
