Original plans for the Cotton Belt Rail Corridor, which eventually became TEXRail and the Silver Line, did not call for a direct connection to the airport. Instead, both services would terminate at
DFW Airport North, a small
park-and-ride closer to the rail corridor, which would then require a transfer to the Orange Line (or, in one proposal, an extension of the airport's Skylink people mover) for terminal access. However, the Orange Line extension required by this design was rendered infeasible due to expansions of
SH 114 and
SH 121, so the rail corridor was instead extended south to a new station at Terminal B. The station was designed and constructed by the airport at an estimated $28.4 million cost. Construction required the demolition of a guideway used by the airport's now-defunct
Airtrans system. Both TEXRail and the Terminal B station entered revenue service on January 10, 2019. When the corridor into the airport was constructed, it was built with two tracks: one for use by TEXRail, and one for use by the Silver Line. ==Gallery==
