JANUARY 20 sees the start of revenue operation on the Trinity Express commuter rail line from South Irving to Dallas Union Station, where it interchanges to the city’s light rail line (RG 10.96 p639). Trains were to begin on December 30, but without all 13 rehabilitated Budd diesel railcars, restricting operations to a limited free introductory service.
