RAIL in the Air: PHX
If you happened to catch the most recent edition of RAIL, you noticed our focus on connections between air and rail travel. One of our brief profiles covered the work to construct an airport rail service at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX). As you can see from the above photo, construction is well underway at PHX, as beams of concrete and steel rise above the tarmac. The first phase of PHX Sky Train is expected to open in 2013. It will also connect to Phoenix's Valley METRO Light Rail service.
And for all you rail enthusiasts who are also aviation observers, this photo was taken from a US Air A321 taxiing prior to departure to LAX.
