AROUND CAMPUS
A&M celebrates 111
years of Dr. Seuss
The Honors and Undergrad
uate Research Department
hosted celebratory activities
in honor of Dr. Seuss’s 111th
birthday Monday. Dr. Seuss
is most remembered for his
children’s books, which he
wrote and illustrated him
self. Among his well-known
works are “The Cat in the
Hat,” “Green Eggs & Ham”
and “How the Grinch Stole
Christmas.” On campus, an
arts-and-crafts workshop in
Rudder Plaza, featuring a
6-feet-tall cardboard cutout
of the Cat in the Hat, was
followed by an MSC Aggie
Cinema showing of “The
Lorax” and a costume con
test in the MSC.
RAIL CONTINUED
Texas Central Railway plans to indepen-
den dy fund the rail project and expects to
start operations in 2021. While Texas Cen
tral Railway recommends the current route,
the rail’s ultimate path may change when
a federal environmental review process is
completed.
Travis Kelly, vice president of govern
ment relations at Texas Central Railway,
said Texas Central Railway has identified the
Utility Corridor as the best possible path to
build the rail’s tracks.
“[The Utility Corridor] best satisfies the
purposes and need of the project to provide
safe, reliable and economically viable high
speed rail service between Houston and Dal
las,” Kelly said. “It also supports the project’s
goal to reduce the impact on communities
and landowners by following existing rights-
of-way as much as possible.”
The effect this route will have on B-CS
residents will largely depend on what trans
portation infrastructure is developed along
the 20-mile gap between B-CS and the
high-speed rail stop, said College Station city
councilman Karl Mooney.
“For a train traveling at 230 mph, it takes a
long time to make a full turn,” Mooney said.
“If the route came out of Houston and tried
to turn into College Station, the additional
land [Texas Central Railway] would have to
buy and the slower speed the train would
have to travel would defeat the purpose of a
high-speed rail.”
Mooney said there are ongoing discus
sions to eventually build a spur route con
necting College Station to the main train.
“A spur train might connect College Sta
tion to the main tracks and travel back and
forth while coordinating with the bullet
train,” Mooney said. “By the time we could
actually have any kind of formal fixed service,
we would probably be looking around 2025.”
Mac Boles, Class of 2000 and high-speed
rail advocate, anticipates a more immediate
response to the transportation problem be
tween Madison County and B-CS. He ex
pects tourism and transportation businesses in
the area will revamp their strategies to better
cater to passengers of the high-speed rail.
“It will be particularly interesting to see
how the area around the midway stop will
be appropriated by taxi services, hoteliers and
future rail connections between the stop and
the immediate B-CS area,” Boles said.
Even though the train is projected to run
outside the B-CS area, Allan Rutter, research
scientist at Texas A&M Transportation Insti
tute, sees various transportation advantages
for students and residents alike. Rutter said
the rail could open up employment oppor
tunities for local students and residents, and
could provide a more convenient way to
travel to and from a Dallas or Houston home
during peak transportation seasons.
“For the northbound trip to Dallas, a
speed-time advantage may be attractive
enough, as would the opportunity to work
along the way,” Rutter said. “Even for
southbound trips to Houston, the train may
offer time advantages during peak congestion
periods.”
Kelley said even though the current route
for the train has been largely identified and
preferred, there are still factors to consider
before Texas Central Railway finalizes any
decisions.
“[Texas Central Railway] is making sub
stantial progress... in eluding work toward
selecting a final station location in Houston
as well as a mid-Texas station serving Bryan-
College Station and Huntsville,” Kelley said.
“As with the ultimate station location in
Dallas, critical factors will be determined by
the project’s environmental review process,
which is still underway.”
