Normal passenger rail service was restored to the Trinity Railway Express at 2:30 p.m. today (Tuesday), about 36 hours after a freight train derailment on a Union Pacific Railroad line disrupted service at two downtown Fort Worth train stations.
"Repairs have been completed to the TRE track ...," Fort Worth Transportation Authority spokeswoman Joan Hunter said in a 2:30 p.m. statement. the first train from Dallas to Fort Worth's T&P Station should arrive at 2:50 p.m. today, she said. The first eastbound train will depart T&P for Dallas at 3:43 p.m.

Nearly a day ahead of schedule. Lots of hard-working railroad and transit people doing what they do best. I was never late to work - not even once - during this service outage.
