Swiss trains
Austin’s Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority accepted delivery of two rail cars shipped in pieces from Switzerland. Four more cars are on order.
“MetroRail” is scheduled to begin in about a year, carrying passengers from Leander, north of Austin, to downtown Austin, with a few stops in between. What’s more, Austin Mayor Will Wynn is proposing a separate project — a light rail line — to connect Austin Bergstrom airport, downtown Austin, the University of Texas, and other stops. He wants to make it a November 2008 ballot issue.
