Want State Fair of Texas tickets? Tweet Up with me TODAY on the Trinity Railway Express #dfwrail

I'll be riding the Trinity Railway Express TODAY, hoping to Tweet Up with readers and talk about transportation and the news biz.

Here's how to find me:

Stop by the Fort Worth Intermodal Station, 1001 Jones St. in downtown Fort Worth, and look for me before I board the 3:51 p.m. train to Dallas. I'll be out there early.

Ride the train with me to Dallas. I'll be in the rear car, wearing a blue Star-Telegram golf shirt.

In Dallas, ride the 4:55 p.m. train with me back to Fort Worth.

Send me a Twitter direct message to @gdickson if you have any questions.

If you happen to find me after the State Fair tickets are gone, I've got a couple of Honkin' Mad! coffee mugs as a consolation prize.

Hi, I just found out the last week that the T is no longer picking up in South Arlington. Now we have no bus service at all to the mid cities. The Rail only for now runs through the upper areas with stops in Euless/Fort Worth south of DFW and Hurst and over in Richland Hills. Those of us who need transportation in the other Mid City regions do not have any thing now that the T has curtailed running to South Arlington. Do you suppose it would be wise to get some form of infrasturcture to link up thes areas with the transportation we do have? Or are we to assume that we are to be left out in the cold?

Clay: Thanks for posting. That Arlington service was a pilot program between the city of Arlington and Fort Worth Transportation Authority that ran for two or three years before it was discontinued. Arlington voters have rejected proposals to raise their sales taxes to pay for transportation three times in the past two decades. In Fort Worth, shoppers pay an extra half-cent sales tax to operate the T. In Arlington, voters prefer to spend that sales tax money elsewhere. I'm not saying one side or the other is right. Take care.
