It was reported, KLBJ Radio, that Union Pacific Railroad is pulling out of discussions with Lone Star Rail to construct a new freight rail line between San Antonio and Taylor which would free up the existing Union Pacific rails for use by Lone Star Rail for commuter trains.
Since effectively commuter trains and freight trains cannot share the same tracks, this Union Pacific action means the end of Lone Star Rail.
Stay tuned to see if the City of Georgetown has effectively wasted $300,000 by paying Lone Star Rail to maintain its ability to participate in the rail project.
If true, then city council needs to listen to reason. Many of us tried to get us out of this boondoggle and actually did for a time. Maybe new leadership is in order? Who can we get to run against all the incumbents.
