Dallas Area Rapid Transit has begun end-to-end testing for the upcoming Silver Line.

Trains will leave Plano and end at DFW International Airport Terminal B, making stops at stations in cities, including Richardson, along the route.

The details

No passengers will be on board and the testing will occur regularly into June. Tests may occur between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. up to seven days a week.

Trains will run with lights and horns. Additionally, signal arms bars will lower and traffic will be halted at Silver Line crossings.


Service is expected to go into effect by the end of 2025.

What else

Once open, the Silver Line is expected to run from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., according to the DART website. The 26-mile route will connect Plano, Richardson, Addison, Carrolton, Coppell and Grapevine to DFW International Airport.
