  The Trinity Railway Express (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas)
The Trinity Railway Express has its genesis back in the mid-1980s, when the assets of the bankrupt Rock Island railroad were being sold off.
The TRE project remained a low priority project for the future until 1994, when the cities passed the project to their transit authorities, Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and the Fort Worth Transportation Authority (The T), with instructions to get things started.
As the TRE is one of the few organisations which still operates Budd RDCs, there is a good change that Kato may eventually produce a model of the Budd RDC with the newer TRE "Lone Star" livery.

On September 16, 2000, Trinity Railway Express held inauguration ceremonies for three new stations on its expanded commuter route: CentrePort / DFW (in North Arlington), Hurst / Bell, and Richland Hills.
Ridership on the expanded route was immediately an overwhelming success; parking lots at the new stations frequently overflowed, forcing passengers who arrived late to park their cars on the street or in vacant lots near the stations.
TRE has been working to add additional parking capacity for these stations.

 What's happened to the diesel railcar revival? - Railway Age, July 2000
Trinity Railway Express, Dallas, is one of several agencies that have revived Budd's RDC of the 1950s.
A far more significant example came on line at the beginning of 1997, when Trinity Railway Express began operating regional passenger service over a 10-mile route between Dallas Union Station and South Irving with a fleet of 13 Alstom Canada-remanufactured RDCs.
Well satisfied with their operating performance, flexibility, and reliability, and anticipating a growing role for RDCs as full Dallas-Fort Worth operation grows and other planned services develop, TRE is now looking for another six RDCs for eventual rehabilitation.

I wasn’t concerned about this, as I had previously used the Trinity Railway Express when I went to visit my parents over the winter solstice.
And, she sheepishly informed me that the bus from the airport to the Trinity Railway Express station doesn’t run on Sundays (bah!).
My take is that DART may have some knuckleheads in the planning department (no Trinity Railway Express one-seventh of the week?!), but their “ground troops” can be rather helpful.
