Major cities: San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Little Rock, Oklahoma City, Tulsa

Overview: As designated in 2000, the South Central Corridor consists of a hub at Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, with spokes extending to (a) Oklahoma City and Tulsa to the north, (b) Texarkana, Texas/Arkansas, Little Rock, Arkansas, to the east and northeast, and (c) Austin and San Antonio to the southwest. At present, Amtrak serves these markets with a single long-distance train (the Texas Eagle) and the Oklahoma-sponsored Fort Work-Oklahoma City Heartland Flyer train. Since 2000, the FHWA and FRA have jointly allocated $2.558 million for grade crossing improvements on the corridor in all three states.

Status: Currently, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is conducting an analysis of its statewide railroad network, which will support TxDOT’s plan to connect the state's population centers on designated freight, intercity passenger, and high-speed rail corridors.
