What we’d brief on this corridor

A 10-day corridor brief turns this row into a fundable scope.

  • Constraint register. Bridge ratings, tunnel clearance, axle load gaps, and short-line interchange limits along the Union Pacific, BNSF routing.
  • Authority chain. SDDC TEA designation, FRA Office of Railroad Safety oversight, and the state DOT touchpoints between TX.
  • Funding map. CRISI eligibility: Yes. RRIF eligibility: Yes. Defense Access Roads where the spur work qualifies.
  • Capital decision. A go or no-go on whether heavy engineering spend is the right next step, with the source records that back each claim.
