Editing Red Line (DART) (section)

==History==
Much of the line was constructed on the former [[Texas Electric Railway]] route. That service ceased operations in 1948.

The Red Line was part of the initial launch of DART's light rail testing and service in 1996.  At the time, the line only ran from Westmoreland Station to [[Pearl Station]] in the northeast corner of downtown.  In 1997, the Red Line was extended to [[Park Lane Station (Dallas)|Park Lane Station]], and was the first DART line to use the 3.5-mile twin tunnels. On December 18, 2000, [[Cityplace Station]], the southwest's first commercial subway station was opened along the Red Line underneath [[Cityplace Tower]] in the tunnel under the Central Expressway.

In 2002, the Red Line extended into Richardson, ending at [[Galatyn Park Station]], extending the light rail service {{convert|9|mi|km|1}} over its original length.  Later that year, the line was opened to the [[Parker Road Station]], an additional {{convert|3|mi|km|1}} of track, its current terminus.
