Some residents and motorists caught a glimpse of a DART train on the North-South KCS tracks in Richardson this week as it headed to Plano, where it will park until segment testing begins on the DART Silver Line in late July or early August. A second train will be traveling through Richardson at some point in the future to join the other train.
Testing of Silver Line vehicles on the Silver Line rail segment between Plano and Richardson is scheduled to last through September. Silver Line regional rail passenger service is expected to begin in late 2025/early 2026.
