HOPE OANTA THINKS YOU’VE BEEN GOOD THIS YEAK!
AUSTIN (AP) ; — Texas could be
come an international transporta
tion leader if it builds a proposed
high-speed railroad, the head of the
Federal Railroad Administration
said Tuesday.
The train system being consid
ered by the Texas High Speed Rail
Authority “may become a real world
leader ... for the United States,” said
Federal Railroad Administrator Gil
bert E. Carmichael.
Carmichael likened a 200-miles-
per-hour train line linking the state’s
major cities to the first stretch of
turnpike built by Pennsylvania,
which eventually became the current
interstate highway system.
“This nation is watching Texas,”
he said. “You’re one of the leading
states ... Where Texas goes and Cali
fornia goes and Florida goes, the
rest of us tend to go.”
Two groups are vying to build a
Texas rail system that officials said is
to be constructed with private funds.
High Speed Rail Authority Chair
man Charles Wyly said Tuesday that
final proposals for the project must
he submitted by Jan. 16, 1991.Tli(:|
panel hopes to choose a winner i
mid-May.
“We’re moving along on a preli'l
fast track” toward awarding tli(|
franchise, Wyly said.
High-speed trains currentlyoper|
ale in Japan and Europe. Althougt
the final proposals aren’t complelti
officials have said that construcliof
of such a system in Texas coull
carry passengers from Dallas l|
Houston in about 90 minutes.
In the bidding are two groups
which utilize European technologies^
One group includes a Freud
train manufacturer and the Moni
son Knudsen Corp., a Boise, Idak
construction company. The secoit
consortium includes the Germanii||
dustrial giant, Siemens AG,
three Texas construction conrpania

Last summer, former Lt. Gw
Ben Barnes, a member of iM
French-based group, said an i
Houston-Dallas line would
about $2.2 billion and take <
five years to build.
