Operations

The station is the northeastern terminus of the TEXRail commuter rail line beginning at T&P Station in Fort Worth. It provides a transfer point between TEXRail and DART's Orange Line via a walkway that continues to Terminal A.[2][1]

Terminal B Station will also be the terminus of Dallas Area Rapid Transit's Silver Line when it is completed.

Walkways lead from the station to Terminal B and to the Orange Line station, and the Orange Line station has its own walkway to Terminal A, making it possible to walk to either station from either terminal.

  • TEXRail Stadler FLIRT waiting on the platform. DFW Airport Terminal B is a TEXRail terminal station.
  • Pedestrian crosswalk and entrance to airport Terminal B. Just north of the platform, the DFW Skylink elevated track passes over the TEXRail tracks.
  • View north from the north pedestrian crosswalk. North of the station, the TEXRail tracks pass underneath taxiway Yankee, which permits aircraft to cross between the east and west sides of the airport.
