A robust, high performance South Central Rail Corridor will allow the free flow of goods between the major producing and consuming areas of Mexico, Texas, the Midwest and Canada and will relieve our congested highways. |
But today, five years later, nothing's been done to upgrade these tracks. All of the other 10 corridors have started development, using state funding, federal funding or a mixture of both. |
The problem is, we won't know what kind of payoff to expect until we have a study, and we won't have a study until our state and federal legislators earmark some money for one. |
