Houston Metro sees First Rail Car
Metro’s first light-rail car crossed into Texas on a flat-bed truck Tuesday morning, drawing stares as it creeped east along Interstate 10. The rail car is the first of 18 en route from the Siemens plant in Sacramento, Calif., for Metro’s Main Street rail line to begin service Jan. 1 between Reliant Park and downtown. The car is to arrive in Houston on Thursday, April 24 and be publicly unveiled May 1.
