I removed this sentence:


 * It marked the first time in seventy years that passenger rail service from Dallas to Fort Worth was available.

What about the Amtrak Texas Eagle? It makes that trip every day, and stops at both cities. Granted, I have a feeling that not many people use it to commute between Dallas and Fort Worth, given the departure times. But passenger rail service did already exist when the TRE opened in Ft. Worth. (I wonder if the editor who made that statement meant something more specific?) Gyrofrog 06:50, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Let's Clean Up This Article
I added a cleanup header because I think that this article can be vastly improved. I'd like to see more details on rolling stock, including the initial set of refurbished RDCs, Refurbished 1970s Bi-Levels from GO Transit and their new stock from Bombardier. I'll contribute as I have time.Tiktok4321 (talk) 13:03, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Re-using former stations?
Does TRE use any other former stations besides the Fort Worth T&P Station and Dallas Union Station? I know Tri-Rail uses a lot of former Seaboard Air Line stations. DanTD (talk) 15:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No. All the other stations are new for the line. Some places, like the FW ITC and South Irving are near where the old stations used to be, but are new platforms themselves.
 * The above comment was mine, forgot to sign it.FoUTASportscaster (talk) 14:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. By any chance was the old one in South Irving the former Chicago, Rock Island, & Gulf Railroad depot that I found in the Portal to Texas History website? DanTD (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, it was. Unlike Dallas or Fort Worth, that was the only station Irving had. It was founded in 1901 as a railroad town by the surveyors of the CRI.

New map
The new map that was added is slightly incorrect and a bit incomplete. AT Union Station, the Red Line to Westmoreland and Blue Line to Ledbetter aren't listed. THe Green Line to Buckner is, but the Green Line doesn't run its line to Union. At Victory, the Green Line is listed to Carrollton, which is corect, but the Green Line also runs to Buckner from there. I would have fixed it, but do not know how.FoUTASportscaster (talk) 00:42, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Wi-Fi
There was a "citation needed" from February 2010 on Wi-Fi service offered aboard the TRE. I ran a Google search, and while there were a couple stories mentioning planned or previous Wi-Fi service, I could not find anything saying the TRE currently offers Wi-Fi on board. I deleted the uncited sentence; if someone wants to put back something about past or future planned Wi-Fi, or has a source discussing current Wi-Fi, they're welcome to add it in. I just wanted to get rid of the uncited claim, since it'd been there for so long. Shelbystripes (talk) 19:34, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
