To generate some fun customer engagement, Trinity Metro held a train-naming contest to give an individual identity to each of TEXRail’s trains. Since 2019, only one TEXRail train has had its own identity: Spike, which was the last of the eight trains to be delivered.

The competition drew an amazing response with more than 1,000 suggestions. Now each of the TEXRail trains has a new name to complete the fleet. Thanks to the community for offering up a great variety of identities. Spike will keep his name, and now we’ve got Zippy, Miles, Ranger, Bluebonnet, Panther, Maverick and Vaquero.

Congratulations to our winners! Thank you for participating in our contest and helping us name the trains.
