A Bullet Train Coming To The Lone Star State?

As reported by Newsweek, plans may already be in motion for bullet train. They state, as per Reuters information, that President Joe Biden is talking to Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida about the train, which would connect Dallas to Houston. If both were to support the idea, according to Newsweek, it could result in more funding for the initiative.

Newsweek revealed that if the train were to be built, the time difference of travel between Dallas and Houston would be significantly shortly. Per Newsweek, taking a car between the two cities times out to 3 hours and 30 minutes. The train would shorten that 90 minutes, as the bullet train's speed would 200 mph.
