I know several of the people in this article and they fall into two categories- pie in the sky utopian libs and people who own property around the old depot in Longview.

Most of the town is scratching our head. We are fixing up the old depot as a historical site but the calls some are making for ‘high speed’ rail connections to Dallas or Shreveport is just silly. We already have rail to those cities and it is almost as fast to just drive there.

If it’s high speed rail, it won’t be stopping in every little town along the way. The people traveling between Houston to Dallas will just continue flying Southwest, if the “high speed” trains make stops at all the towns with a traffic light in between.

Officials disconnected from The People who don’t see the need for gov’t “investment” in systems The People don’t want.
