The line enters downtown Fort Worth from the northeast, passing under Interstate 35W and curving towards Fort Worth Central Station. As it approaches Interstate 820, it takes a sharper southwest turn towards downtown Fort Worth, passing through Richland Hills and Haltom City. It turns slightly northwest towards Bell before following the southern city limits of Hurst. The line passes over SH-360 and takes a slight southwest turn along the northern city limits of Arlington. While crossing into Tarrant County, the line passes about four miles south of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The train continues west to the Dallas County/ Tarrant County border, passing under the President George Bush Turnpike. The line crosses the Elm Fork of the Trinity River into Irving, passing through Irving's historic downtown district. From there, the line runs northwest parallel to Interstate 35E, passing American Airlines Center and Dallas Market Center before turning west. The eastern terminus of the TRE route is Dallas Union Station on the west side of downtown Dallas. On December 3, 2001, the TRE was extended to its current terminus at the T&P Station in downtown Fort Worth. On November 13, 2000, the West Irving Transit Station also opened. On September 18, 2000, the line was extended to the suburb of Richland Hills and, for the first time, there was rail service available between downtown Dallas and Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Service initially operated only in weekday rush hours, but midday and evening service was added in December 1997, and Saturday service was added in December 1998. It runs along a former Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad line that the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth purchased in 1983 for $34 million. Named after the Trinity River, the West Fork of which flows from Fort Worth to Dallas, the TRE was launched on December 30, 1996, shortly after the inaugural service of Dallas' DART Light Rail system, operating from Dallas Union Transit Station to the South Irving Transit Station. Since 2006, the TRE has been shown as a dark blue line on DART maps. In 2006, DART chose green as the color for its new light rail route, the Green Line. In 2022, the system had a ridership of 1,089,800, or about 3,600 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2023, making it the seventeenth most-ridden commuter rail system in the United States.īefore 2006, the TRE was typically shown as a green line on DART maps and therefore was sometimes referred to as the 'Green Line,' but this was not an official designation. The TRE began operating in December 1996.

Each transit authority owns a 50% stake in the joint rail project and contractor Herzog Transit Services operates the line. It was established by an interlocal agreement between Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Trinity Metro. The center section is low floor and is at the same level as the platform.The Trinity Railway Express ( TRE) is a commuter rail line in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, Texas, United States.
