Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) has announced that its Silver Line trains are running on local tracks for the first time, as test runs began earlier this week utilizing the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) tracks between Dallas and Fort Worth. The Silver Line trains will run the full TRE route from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. each Sunday for the next few weeks. This will only be a test run; no passengers will be allowed to board the Silver Line trains at any of the TRE stations.
DART is more than 60 percent complete with the Silver Line project overall and will begin to fully test the trains in segments on the Silver Line tracks later this summer, starting first with the segment that runs between the Shiloh Road Station in Plano and CityLine/Bush Station in Richardson and continuing to other segments through early 2025, with full end-to-end testing expected in summer 2025.
DART Silver Line is scheduled to begin passenger service in late 2025 to early 2026.
