Bexar County's Peter Sakai discusses San Antonio-Austin rail with Union Pacific execs
Bexar County Judge Peter Sakai appears to be keeping his promise to explore development of passenger rail service between San Antonio and Austin. Sakai and his Travis County counterpart, Judge Andy Brown, met Monday with Union Pacific Railroad leaders to discuss partnerships to expand passenger service between the two rapidly growing metro areas. Union Pacific owns and operates the freight line connecting the cities. "As we move forward, our priority is to continue engaging in ongoing discussions with Union Pacific and seeking solutions to address transportation challenges between Austin and San Antonio," Sakai said in an emailed statement.
