The TEXRail line spans 27.2 miles with nine stations connecting Fort Worth to DFW Airport. Service enhancements include midday trains running every 30 minutes, catering to rising passenger demand. A planned 2.1-mile extension will reach Fort Worth’s Medical District, marking another milestone for the system. These improvements highlight TEXRail’s commitment to providing reliable, efficient transportation for its growing ridership.

Reed Lanham, Trinity Metro’s vice president of rail, emphasized the strategic importance of the purchase. “Demand for TEXRail is increasing, and these new trainsets ensure we maintain excellent service. We’re prioritizing customer experience alongside network growth with our Medical District extension,” he explained. Enhanced service standards and capacity underscore TEXRail’s focus on meeting future mobility needs.

Martin Ritter, Stadler US CEO, praised the partnership’s success, noting its unique history. “The initial TEXRail order was our first project fully assembled on U.S. soil. Trinity Metro’s continued trust demonstrates our shared dedication to innovative rail solutions,” he stated. This order strengthens Stadler’s presence in the U.S. transit market.

As Trinity Metro enhances its fleet, TEXRail is poised to set new benchmarks for regional rail service. Passengers can look forward to increased capacity, improved frequency, and seamless travel experiences. TEXRail’s commitment to expansion aligns with broader goals for sustainable urban transit development.
