Strike while the sensible iron in Texas is hot!! No more TTC (Trans-Texas Corridor)
I never thought this would happen!

That would make entirely too much sense, much easier to destroy rail lines perfectly suited for commuter use to expand the freeways.And to throw my 2cents in, I think Texas, like the rest of the good ol' USA needs more rail lines, commercial and metro commuter. It just makes sense to me (then again I spent a lot of time oversees, and that might be influencing my opinions)
I-69 was wrapped into the TTC project at one point in time but development beyond being a usual interstate was canceled in June of 2008.I think you guys are confusing the TTC with the long planned federal I-69 project.
The Trans Texas Corridor was the one that would parallel I-35.
I-69 is a totally different project that will pretty much replace US-59 in Texas. It was never planned as part of the TTC or involved in the financing of the TTC, and as far as I know, the upgrading of US-59 toward this is still in progress.
