  • Well done.

  • One problem is that, to rebuild this system, you would have to demolish entire suburban neighborhoods, comercial retail complexes and even public schools. If you study a map of the line, and examine it using satelite imaging, you'll see that all of this, including high tension electrical lines, have been built right on top of the right-of-way.

  • EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I live in ALLEN! I live in Cottonwood Creek.

  • Yeah. I dont get it, and I agree with you.

  • Why can't they bring this system back? It seems if the government can pull $700 billion out of a hat to rescue the rich bankers, they could throw a little toward a project like this.

  • Vive le texas

  • Once upon a time in the West. Very interesting - what Rapid Transit looked like 60-70 years ago
