Consultants say a commuter rail service demonstration for Houston would cost about 2 million dollars per mile and not be worth it. Harlan Ritter of Houston Belt and Terminal criticizes Metro board views on rail while a five-railroad consortium seeks to negotiate for trains from downtown to Tomball, Clear Lake, Hobby Airport and Missouri City.
