Inside the long battle to bring high-speed rail to Texas

In 2014, Texas Central announced plans to connect Dallas to Houston with a bullet train that travels more than 200 mph, shortening a 3.5-hour drive to a 90-minute train ride. But little progress has been made and pushback from some locals has been fierce. Last year, Amtrak announced it was partnering with Texas Central to potentially revive the effort. CNBC explores why there has been a long battle in the state over high-speed rail and whether Amtrak can finally bring a bullet train to Texas.
