On Saturday, March 27, Capital Metro will dedicate the Capital MetroRail Red Line and celebrate the start of passenger service. The dedication of Capital MetroRail will be a sweet moment in our organization’s history, and we cordially invite you to attend the festivities at either the Downtown Station.

Community leaders will accompany a group of students who have been involved in Capital Metro’s rail safety education efforts on a MetroRail “Safety Train” demonstration ride from Leander to Downtown Station. A coffee and hot chocolate reception and some remarks will take place in Leander before the Safety Train, and another reception, music, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place at Downtown Station after the train arrives. We hope you can make it!
