President Joe Biden is reportedly seeking to revive a project that would construct a high-speed railway from Houston to Dallas in Texas utilizing Japanese bullet trains.
According to a Reuters report on Tuesday, citing unnamed administration sources, the White House is looking to make an announcement on the project following talks between Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Washington, D.C., this week.
The Japanese government and the White House declined to comment on the report, though the project has seen renewed support from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who told KXAS in Fort Worth on Sunday: “We believe in this.”
That’s what happened in Wisconsin, too. Scott Walker gave all the money back and the trains now run in Lagos.
As metro trains, I might add. Metros are great but Talgos are the wrong rolling stock. It will be the first metro in the world to run tilting trains I believe.
