TEXRAIL & TRINITY RAILWAY EXPRESS (TRE) – On the evening of March 2nd, a powerful storm swept through the Dallas-Fort Worth area, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Numerous trees were toppled across the region causing damage to the transportation network and crossing protection systems. Despite the chaos, Trinity Metro Vice President Jon-Erik “AJ” Arjanen praised the response efforts of Herzog personnel for their efforts to restore service. “I could not be more proud, impressed, and grateful for the amazingly safe efforts and performance displayed by the entire TEXRail, Trinity Railway Express (TRE), and Herzog teams. Last night’s unrelenting challenges were only bettered by this team’s motivation, perseverance, and drive for excellence. Please share my heartfelt gratitude to every member of the team. Truly, last night’s performance was nothing short of unbelievable. Again, thank you, and job well done.”
