NEW YORK – Texas Central Partners LLC, a U.S. company aiming to build a high-speed rail link in the state, is envisaging Japanese companies potentially providing vehicles and technologies for its planned bullet train service connecting Dallas and Houston.
In a recent phone interview, Texas Central CEO Tim Keith reiterated that the shinkansen technology of Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai), Japan’s lead bullet train operator, will be employed to link the two major cities, which are about 385 km apart.
“Texas Central Partners is 100 percent committed to the shinkansen system with JR Central as our life-of-system partner,” Keith said.
