Train horns sounding again in city

by | Apr 2, 2024 | Latest

The mournful – and loud — sound of train horns has resumed along a southern Collin County rail corridor as CPKC, formerly Canadian Pacific Kansas City Southern Railroad, resumed freight service March 3.

The rail corridor had been silent since July 2022 while trains were rerouted to allow Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) to work on the 26-mile commuter line traversing seven North Texas cities — Grapevine, Coppell, Dallas, Carrollton, Addison, Richardson and Plano — between DFW Airport and Shiloh Road in Plano.
