Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, who proposed an urban rail car system for the city, has said the Tarrant County route would be “an integral part of our transportation future” to benefit Fort Worth, now the nation’s 11th-largest city with more than 1 million residents.

Arlington Mayor Jim Ross has said high-speed rail could be a game changer for the region’s third-largest city, home to an entertainment district that includes Six Flags Over Texas and stadiums for the Texas Rangers and the Dallas Cowboys.

The project is now a private venture after a nearly $64 million federal grant with Amtrak was terminated by President Donald Trump’s administration.

The Texas Central project is led by top investor Kleinheinz Capital Partners Inc. of Fort Worth, which previously said it was “proud to have stepped in as the private sector sponsor of the Texas high-speed rail.”

The project would be capable of transporting passengers at about 140 miles per hour along the 271-mile trek from Houston to Fort Worth.
