This is definitely more than just a few city blocks or a neighborhood.

That would be interesting info to see what the next 50 years of expansion/growth will require in rail, pipeline, electric and other utilities eminent domain takings. Texas has major problems with rail transportation and is looking at some major projects to attempt to relieve the congestion. One study about the rail system can be reviewed at the following:

Other than the original interstate system and lands taken for various reservoir projects, the total 4000 mile road system being contemplated for Texas, would be the largest *land grab* in modern history.
