The goal is creating a rail line that connects Austin, San Antonio, and Monterrey, Mexico, which would offer an alternative to the heavily congested I-35 corridor.
The Texas Passenger Rail Advisory Committee, spearheaded by Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai and Travis County Judge Andy Brown met Mexican officials on Monday aboard Amtrak’s Texas Eagle, an existing daily passenger service between Austin and San Antonio.
The Mexican officials included Emmanuel Loo, the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon’s deputy secretary of economic development, and Javier Diaz Gonzalez, the mayor-elect of Saltillo, Mexico.
