    The Trinity Railway Express is a commuter rail line in the Dallas–Fort Worth. It was established by an interlocal agreement between Dallas Area Rapid Transit and Trinity Metro. Each transit authority owns a 50% stake in the joint rail project and contractor Herzog Transit Services operates the line. The TRE began operating in December 1996. As of the fourth quarter of 2014, the TRE has an average weekday ridership of 8,200 passengers per day and is the fifteenth most-ridden commuter rail system in the United States.
    Route
    The eastern terminus of the TRE line is Dallas Union Station on the west side of downtown Dallas. The line runs northwest, past the American Airlines Center and Southwestern Medical Center, through Irving, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Hurst, and Richland Hills before ending with two stops in downtown Fort Worth (Fort Worth Central Station at 9th and Jones Streets and T&P Station on Throckmorton Street). There are a total of ten regular station stops, including a stop at Victory Station. Not all trains are through trains – a number of trains either terminate or originate at the CentrePort/DFW Airport Station.

    I very much agree with this route, I do want and I say we need more routes in TSW based on American commuter rail lines. Just one small mistake I spotted, the second loco on the list should be a “F59PHI” not a P69PHI”;)

    It’s also nice to have multiple threads for one route to be suggested, it increases the chances of that route getting in TSW!:D
