Houston station (Texas Central) explained

Houston is the planned southern terminus of the Texas Central Railway high-speed line. The station is located in the Lazybrook/Timbergrove neighborhood of Houston, Texas, northeast of the Interstate 610 and U.S. Route 290 interchange at the site of the former Northwest Mall. The station is about from the METRO Northwest Transit Center and about from Downtown.

Planning

Three alternatives were considered for the Houston passenger terminal: the former Northwest Mall, the industrial site directly southwest of the mall, and the nearby METRO Northwest Transit Center.^{[1] [2]} The mall was chosen as the station site in 2018.^[3]
