Is high speed rail service to Dallas coming to Greenspoint? The Greenspoint District’s Jack Drake thinks so, according to a story in Northeast News:

High speed rail is in our future, Drake indicated, with a line from Dallas to Houston by 2020. The private corporation that will build it is headquartered in Greenspoint. It will partner with Japan High Speed Rail, a leader for 50 years in this technology. He foresees a HSR line that will take only 70 minutes to reach Dallas, travelling at 215 miles per hour. Former Harris County Judge Robert Eckels is president of this corporation, Lone Star High Speed Rail.

Transportation is a key factor in Greenspoint’s future, Drake said. He mentioned that the combination of Continental and United make the country’s largest airline, and their reservation center remains in Greenspoint.
