In reply to bikedenton. I just rode this trail today. I started on the Corinth side and missed the transition at the Med Park station on the way there. On the way back I discovered that you actually have to cross the tracks at the station.

In reply to Kacey Close. Yes! Parks and Rec is taking bids on construction in July with construction to start soon after that. They want it done in the beginning of 2012.

Any update as to when the bridge over 288 will be completed? If it’s there, I’ve never noticed it.

In reply to Daniel. @Danny: I'm not sure if the newer Stadler trains will be faster. They're definitely sexier, more accommodating, and they run cleaner. The older cars are kinda cool looking, shiny like Airstreams. @Daniel: Totally. The rail trail goes all the way through Corinth and ends right before the lake. I used to ride it all the way over near the Rave movie theater. Eventually, it's supposed to go to Dallas.

Are there plans for the rail trail to go farther than MedPark station?

Thanks for the update! I’ve been very curious about the bike situation on the A-train. Too bad there’s no hooks for a while, but it will def be a major improvement over how bikes are handled on the current Commuter Express buses. Any idea if the trains will run faster when thy update the train cars a year and a half from now?
