Operations
The station is the northeastern terminus of the TEXRail commuter rail line beginning at T&P Station in Fort Worth. It provides a transfer point between TEXRail and DART's Orange Line via a walkway that continues to Terminal A.[2][1]
Terminal B Station will also be the terminus of Dallas Area Rapid Transit's Silver Line when it is completed.
Walkways lead from the station to Terminal B and to the Orange Line station, and the Orange Line station has its own walkway to Terminal A, making it possible to walk to either station from either terminal.
