Wabtec signed a USD 97 million contract to provide signaling and communication services for TEX Rail, a new commuter rail line being developed by the Fort Worth Transportation Authority. The authority expects to open the 43 km, double-track line in 2018.
Under the contract, Wabtec will provide wayside signaling and communication services, including a control and command center, for the line.
The TEX Rail line will begin in downtown Fort Worth and extend to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. The service is projected to carry more than 13,600 daily riders using nine rail stations when it’s fully built.
