This southbound train is just about to enter
the platform area at Downtown Transit Center. A bit of the overhead structure for
the I-45 freeway appears to the right. After passing under
that road the Red Line will be
traveling through the
Midtown neighborhood of Houston.
As the "Transit Center" designation implies, numerous bus lines
-- more than two dozen at peak times -- stop
by or near the train station. The coming of the Red Line
removed
many bus trips from Main St.
Traffic signals placed horizontally are common in many Texas
communities. |
