So, I guess if they wanted a corridor there, they’d build it themselves.

Not quite sure what your point is, but TxDOT has zero business grabbing and fencing in ROW for pipelines, power lines, etc.

If Texans want to include rail in their charter, then my solution in # 10 (built along old rail ROWs) would apply...

Of course none of the above would apply unless adjoining States made the same commitment to ensure long-distance freight transport.
